Sometimes, things happen in life which challenge our faith in God but we have to always remember when one door is closed, another opens...Between the bills this year including outrageous heating oil costs, electric, car repairs not to mention feeding four sons- there just wasn't much left over for Christmas- and to mention their father is months and months behind on child support. I prayed on this matter but I must admit I have been crying every night just thinking my boys wouldn't have much if anything for Christmas ..Knowing how excited they are for Christmas each year, especially my 9 yr old autistic son Christopher I knew I had to do something...In the newspaper one morning there was written in a small article where a local agency was giving away 1 prize of $500.00 worth of gift cards to the family they felt was most needing assistance for this holiday season ..I wrote a 500 word essay explaining our particular situation and I was shocked when they called and let me know that they chose MY essay and wanted me to come up and pick up the gift certificates yesterday..I have been praying for God's help this year because I exhausted all my resources and He came through.. Last night, I went to Toys R Us, the mall and several other places and I am sure my boys will be smiling Christmas day....Also, my children's grief counselor and a social worker who works with my family gave the boys bikes and other toys today and this morning I had to go to my youngest son's school to pick up toys, blankets and clothes they wanted the kids to have....wow..that is so much more than I even could imagine...I don't know what to say but a Christmas I almost given up on, is going to be a beautiful one...I am going to make a homemade dinner, cookies, it's going to be nice....Thank God.
