Miss Grinch has been humbled

I could have definitely been called a Grinch this year. I had NO Christmas spirit for most of the season. I had nothing to give my kids, no money to get them anything... I was depressed beyond belief. My children are so amazing though. I told them from the get go that we may not get a whole lot for Christmas this year and you know what? they said "Okay mom, we know you're having a hard time" can you believe that? I have got the most amazing kids!!!!! So anyway we went to go visit my grandfather up in Safford and they gave us a gift card at walmart. They wanted me to spend some of it on me but I spent EVERY dime of it on my kids. Then my parents asked me what I wanted and I told my mom that all I wanted is for my kids to have something for Christmas. So my parents helped me buy some presents for my children... they didnt have to... but they did ( i love my parents so much!!!!!) Then I was starting to get the christmas spirit.... and then yesterday was the most humbling day for me. I was sitting at my computer working on a christmas project for my mom and dad and I hear a knock at my door.... cautious person that I am (one would call it paranoid the other would call it cautious) looked out my peephole and I didnt see anyone there. I opened the door and there were 3 wrapped christmas presents... one for me and one for each of the boys. Then something was telling me "Go check your mail". So being sick as sick can be I didnt want to but I heard it again "Go check your mail". I opened my mail box to find 2 christmas cards... one from a cousin and his beautiful family and the other from "Secret Santa" with 5 $20 bills inside it saying "God Bless You". I cried like the bawl baby that I am and realized that there are amazing people in the world. I don't know who the secret santas were.... but I send the most heart-felt thank you to them from the bottom of my heart. Merry Christmas everyone! I love you all!!!
