My Christmas Present

Christmas started out horribly. No money for presents and I was missing my kids, grandkids and friends in California. It was cold in Texas and my in-laws used all the propane for heat, we had to wait 2 days for delivery and froze! Didn't have money for that because the electric bills were so high I had to pay on both of them!
On Christmas day, the water heater blew a pipe and we had to mop up 100 gallons of water. My stepson and mother-in-law were sick, and made all of us sick.
When I got back to work on Friday though, I had an email with a picture of my son and grandson. It's the first I have of them together and it just melted my heart. I pray that God leads, protects, provides and watches over them...my precious boys! I pray He guides, protects and provides for all those I love and care about. Even a few folks I'd like to forget (forgive me Father).
So, an act of kindness salvaged an otherwise miserable Christmas! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to All!
