Pay it forward.

The last 6 months have been financially difficult for our little family. We used up our savings, had tons of extra medical expenses and fewer hours at work. 

Christmas is in two weeks and as much as I plan in advance and shop early, this year we weren't able to do much. Zach and I got nothing for each other and just wanted our kids to have it all. 

Tonight two large and very personalized packages showed up randomly on our doorstep. One for each child. They were filled with gifts that were perfect for them. My heart burst and I cried. We live in the best ward. Seriously I cry every time I think of moving. We may live in this shoebox forever just so we don't have to move. The thoughtfulness and compassion is beyond measure. One day I hope to be in a good enough place to be able to pay these "blessings" forward and adopt a family for Christmas. 

Remember to do good and be kind, my babies. You will always be happy if you are in the service of others.
