this post isn't to air my own dirty laundry (although i certainly have my fair share), but just to express this overwhelming appreciation for the much needed help that has come our way lately.
it was maybe a month ago that my husband grabbed my hand, knelt down and led us in a prayer that had me crying out my nose, a prayer to meet our needs. and maybe i shouldn't be amazed, because i should just know HIS power, but every time, EVERY TIME, i am. i am so amazed to witness His handy work. i weep.
now, now with a baby on the way. now with the holidays under way. now is a very taxing time to be struggling. and though i can't recall a time when things were so tough, when money was so tight, i also can't remember a time when there was more joy in our hearts and love in our home.
and what a season to experience such contentment from within, a deeper gratitude for the gifts bestowed upon us, for the spirit of a giving heart and the celebration of our family and friends. i can't help but feel God at work in our hearts.
our time of need has also brought us great joy. and i just want to say a very heartfelt thank you to the family and friends who have given from a place of selflessness, of helpfulness, of love... your priceless gifts (whether you knew how needed they were or not) have helped keep us afloat, helped fulfill future needs for our bun in the oven, and helped meet basic daily needs, but mostly; touch our hearts in the most humblest of ways. you have shed light on our darkness, you have been the sweet souls God used to answers our prayers.
i'm a blubbering mess writing of our gratitude for you. you all know who you are. thank you, from the very bottom of our hearts for making our season merry and bright. we have been greatly blessed by you.
