SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

We've had our socks blessed off over the last month or so! I just want to share some of the cool things that have happened. So, in no particular order ...

* Someone paid for us to get our favorite pizza for lunch last Wednesday, the day after I was up much of the night with a barking & snotting Naomi.

* Someone paid for me to attend our church's ladies' Christmas dinner.

* Someone hung out with our kids while I was at the dinner. Tim couldn't watch them because he was officiating a game.

* Someone let us stay at their house for three nights while our electrical panel and furnace got replaced.

* We were given tickets to a Blazer game, plus money for snacks & parking.

* Someone hung out with Naomi while the rest of us went to the Blazer game.

* Someone has paid for Tim to attend our church's men's retreat in January.

* Someone is going to replace our camera. It hasn't worked right since the day after Devon's surgery, which is why our webshots page hasn't been updated in forever.

* We were given money to travel to my dad's for Christmas.

* Tim and I were treated to dinner and a concert with friends.

* Someone hung out with our kids while we were out at the concert.

* We've been blessed with some extra money from various sources to put toward Devon's hernia bill.

* Someone sent an e-mail that encouraged us in parenting the little Ws.

* Someone has blessed us with money for the last three months to help cover the unexpected shortfall in Tim's salary.

* Someone surprised us with Noah's bagels for breakfast when they dropped their child off for us to watch.

* Someone decorated beautiful cookies for us with our initials on them.

* Someone brought flowers to cheer me up when I was stressed about our lack of heat and electricity.

* A few people have sent me really sweet notes lately, for absolutely no reason at all.


I hate to wrap this up because I know I'll leave out an obvious thing or two. So, if you've blessed us lately and you aren't on the list, please don't take it personally. I need to write these things down as they happen, rather than trying to remember them all later.

God is good and we are blessed to be surrounded by awesome people!!
