If you would have asked me a week ago what kind of Christmas my children were going to have this year, I would have said it was looking pretty bleak. On Tuesday morning there were literally a couple presents underneath the tree with not many more still to wrap. By Thursday morning, my branch at work had pulled money together to help my family during this difficult time and presented me with an envelope. I'm not usually at a loss for words, but this really took me off guard. It's odd being on the receiving end, I'm so used to being the provider, the giver, the person looking out for others during difficult times. I feel so blessed to work among such generous people who took the time to think of me and my family, even though they too are going through difficult times. The furlough has been hard on everyone, the economy sucks, and it's Christmas time! So for everyone to pull together and give to our family, meant the world to us.
We ended up having a very nice Christmas day after all :) The kids woke us up around 6:15 and sure enough, Santa had come! The stockings were full (thanks to our loving San Jose family) and there were plenty of gifts underneath the tree.
The moral to this story is that...God is good!!
Peace to you all!! Love, Genie
