Even though I've been struggling lately, I cannot go without saying how blessed we have been by friends and acquaintances who wish to help in ways that go beyond the ongoing needs of our family for meals and childcare...
One good friend entered our story in a radio contest in order to give us a Christmas wish. He won gift cards for us to help us pay for Christmas presents, gas, and a nice meal out.
Another friend dropped bins by for me to fill up with our Christmas gifts. She is going to wrap them all and bring them back when she is through.
Another good friend decided to be St. Nick to our family and sent the kids some extra gifts this year to alleviate some of my stress of Christmas.
The receptionist at our dentist office called up and asked how they could help. Instead of doing a staff cookie exchange they will be collecting some nut-free and allergen free cookies to bring to our family. (It is especially a blessing since our oven is now broken!)
After our oven broke yesterday a friend offered us her oven that's still in good condition they just wanted to switch to gas! Why yes, we'd love it! We are hoping to get it to our house later this weekend.
Thank you, Thank you....1,000 times thank you. We are blessed.
