We were so blessed this year. Despite the fact that Matt has been unemployed for over 6 months now, we have been blessed more then we ever have...or at least I recognize all the blessings now. I was very overwhelmed by the love and compassion others have shown our family. There were countless nights that someone knocked on our door and left a surprise. I don't know who most of the "door-bell ditchers" were. But if any of them read my blog; this is my "Thank-You". You may never know the impact a small act of service might have on another individual, but I am here to express my love and gratitude. Service gives another person in need, HOPE. I was anticipating a very different Christmas this year. One where we would have to explain to our children why under neath the tree was bare...but I didn't have to explain that. Quite the opposite. They wondered why there were so many gifts. I know Christmas is not about the gifts. Our kids know its not about the gifts. What they do know is that people are good and kind and very generous.
We are surrounded by wonderful family and friends. I just want to say, that we love you, everyone of YOU. We have been humbled by all the experiences we've had over the years. We can't wait for the opportunity to pay it forward.
She LOVES that pillow pet.
