Blessed ...

"Every good and perfect gift comes from above." I can't remember where to find that but it's scripture. (Edit: James 1:17, thanks Lina!) God is good to us! Just yesterday we were blown away with blessings one after the other! I'm so grateful - God opened the floodgates of His love on our family yesterday and it overflows into today. What a beautiful thing ...

1. We were given a bounty of groceries by a dear friend ... just because ...
2. A friend found tickets to Wicked for $21.75 and we're going in February!
3. My husband brings home a 32" TV that was given to him for free by a customer who had upgraded to a plasma tv. (32" is huge compared to the 19" we're accustomed to!) Kenny installed it last night and surprised the boys with it this morning.
4. We received a very generous anonymous gift by someone who knows us well. Just to use in a way that would be a blessing to us!
5. I was able to work on our christmas card all afternoon! What joy - I feel like I've rediscovered Christmas. Here are the results of my zoning out in my creative spot. To me ... Hope is the center of Christmas!
