Blessed to be a blessing.

 As Christmas approaches we eagerly await the day we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have been blessed to be able to provide gifts for our kids as we have in the past. Normally we get our kids 3 gifts each, one representing each gift the Three Wise Men brought Jesus. Last year we were only able to buy them each one gift as all our finances went into moving down here last December. The Lord has opened amazing opportunities to both earn income and receive support from people like you. We feel very blessed and humbled to be receiving this opportunity to bless our children. 
We have made many new friends over the past year and are excited to spend Christmas Eve with a family we are just getting to know. There are different options that the Lord has laid on our hearts for Christmas Day. We are praying about what to do. There are many men in our community that have no family and usually sit at the park literally all day long. We are trying to see how we can bless them on Christmas Day. There are also many people who have to work on Christmas Day, we are also praying about how we can bless them and thank them for sacrificing Christmas Day (By choice or not) Gods Word tells us that we have been blessed to be a blessing and we want to bless those who need a blessing. Please join us in prayer as we listen to what the Lord would have us do.
