We're "having Christmas" in the morning...Oh, wait, it is morning. We're having Christmas in a few hours, and I just put the presents around the tree. It's beautiful.
I need to take a moment and give God and His servants some props. You see, those gifts really are gifts. I didn't buy them. They were given to us. Money is tight this year, with me in school, and I had to leave Christmas in God's hands (boy that sounds shallow; as if it wasn't before).
Anyway, around Thanksgiving, someone gave me a check to shop for the kids. I'm not a shopper, so I passed it on to some friends, who bought presents for each of the kids. They even wrapped them for me.
Then, I got a call the other day from another friend. He had a bunch of gifts for the Menefees from an anonymous donor. My pride wanted to say no, but they were already purchased, wrapped, and labeled for each of the kids.
It's all just so beautiful, the big bows and gift bags...and the love of family and friends that they represent.
We are so blessed...God is so good. I just went outside, and it's snowing! Can it get any better.
Merry Christmas, everybody!
