Bless St. Nick

I have shed a lot of tears this last week because of some unexpected car issues that ended up wiping out our Christmas budget. Josh and I agreed that we would do things like give each other massages for Christmas and stuff like that. I was blessed with some small cash tips from some of the customers on my paper routes so we were able to get Vannah a little something for Christmas but not anything like I had imagined from our Christmas budget.

I came home from work on my break today to find a pile of gift sitting in front of my door. Santa made an early visit to our home. I am so grateful! As a youth I participated in giving Christmas to others less fortunate that I and never imagined it would be me. You don't really understand the blessing until it happens to you. Thank you! Thank you Santa from the bottom of my heart! I don't know if Santa reads my blog but if he does my words cannot describe the overwhelming gratitude that pours out of my heart. Thank you! I hope to return the favor someday.
