    Default More and more blessings!!!

    I just don't know what to say....everytime I turn around I am being given something wonderful.....

    Today the children played at our Seniors Christmas luncheon, they played solo, duets, trios and then my eldest Dd playe carols on the piano while the seniors sang. Our children entertain at our seniors luncheons several times a year.

    Afterwards they presented each child with a gift....I laughed and said it was a dangerous precident to begin because they will expect a "paynment" from now on....they said they wanted to give the children something special for Christmas.

    Then several of the seniors led me to another room and presented me wiith two big boxes of food, potatoes, apples, manadarins etc etc and alarge envelope. They said my family and I deserved it and that I was a wonderful mom....I gave them big hugs and said I appreciate those words more than anything.

    When I got home from the luncheon I opened the envelope. Inside there was $50 in Shellgas GCs, $150 GC's to our local mall, and $50 GC to Vallue Village! I thought I was going to faint.

    This evening my pastor dropped by with gifts for the children from several parishners and more food!

    I have never had a Christmas like this! Ever!
    We have no money left from our student loans (in fact I don't have the money for our next mortgage payment...so I am going to use our line of credit to pay it until the next student loan payment comes through on Jan.6).
    and yet we have presents under our tree! Our pantry is absolutely packed! And I have all these GC's for all these different stores and some extra cash to pay our small bills!!!!!

    I am still pinching myself!

    Awe Holly, it brings a smile to my face everytime I read one of these threads. Angels surround us everyday, we just don't realize it.

    I'm so very, very happy for you. Enjoy!!

    That is so wonderful Holly. You and your wonderful giving family deserve all the blessings that you are receiving and more.
