A Christmas blessing

i work a part time job making barely. Enough to pay my bills with not much leftover. I don't have money to buy gifts this year for anyone. I especially am sad about not having gifts for my nieces and nephews. I crocheted and knotted gifts for my mom and sisters with yarn I had on hand. Last night I prayed for God to somehow let this work out.



Well I got a request from an aquaintance to crochet some hats for her daughters. She gave me the yrn and a card. I got home and opened the card and she included $50 for me making the hats, to cover shipping and the rest she said is for me! I still need more money to cover my car payment but I am so grateful for this woman's kindness. For small blessings. I'll feel better when I see my paycheck on Monday but this is a small relief. 



Justs saying, miracles happen

Your talent, good sense and sincere intentions, not to mention the woman showing up when you needed her, are what you deserved. I'm so happy for you.
Merry Christmas.:)

Yes, Chris, miracles do happen.

I often wonder if the greatest miracles are things which we cannot recognize because they did NOT happen.

Thanks for the day brightener. Happy crocheting.

The Lords blessings don't come In things; money, nice clothes and a nice house. Hard times can be a blessing. He blesses us in Spiritual ways every day. Faith , Hope and Love. The fruit of the Spirit; love , joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness and self-control. Family is one of our biggest blessings.

I disagree with you Ricky. Gods blessings come in many forms. This woman's generosity was a blessing to me. I don't doubt that for a second.

What a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing! So glad to hear the miracles God is doing in people's lives.

And Ricky, God does provide our needs. I think kisses' post is proof of that! (I could share many stories of God's provision, especially at Christmas, but this is Kisses' story!)

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
