We are so privileged to see so many miraculous things happen because of cancer. We have experienced many miracles, and another one happened at Christmas. Our living room was filled with gifts from "Secret Santas". My kids were so thrilled Christmas morning to see the piles of gifts so generously given to them. It was a Christmas Miracle. What a blessing for the kids to be given so much! They have had so much fun playing with all of their fun toys. It was so fun for Dan and I as parents to watch with anticipation as each gift was opened, because we were as surprised with each package as were the children. The joy, delight, and excitement at our house Christmas morning was beautiful. I feel so blessed to be able to be here, and experience Christmas one more time. A sincere and humble thank you to the generous, loving people who once again so selflessly gave to our family.
Because of my health, I can not go shopping. I don't even have the energy to do internet shopping. I also would not be able to wrap Christmas gifts. Having bags of already wrapped gifts delivered to our home for our children (and even gifts for Dan & I) relieved a burden that greatly saddened me. I know there are so many more out there who have much greater needs than we do, and I don't know why we receive so much. I only hope that my children are learning from all of you who serve and give so much, and that they will be able to grow up to be like you, kind and giving. Thank you for following the example of Christ, whose birth and life we celebrate at Christmas.
Here is an after picture, Christmas Morning. The kids have had a blast playing with all of their fun new toys!
