Our Christmas
I want to tell you a little more of that Christmas.We had just moved into our home the August before.So we had used all our savings as a down payment.You know this is the house I didn't like.Well anyway.Jim had lost his job(because he was not able to do the job).I was only making $5.oo an hour.We had always bought a real tree. We didn't have one .But up in the attic the girls Sondra & Jackie( Jackie was not in the faith at that time)found an old tree so they used that to put up.
Just at the time they had finished putting up the tree,there was a knock at the door. Yes,it was brethren with our wonderful Christmas.Now these brethren were not from our assembly.Sis Jackie knew this. She later told me that this made a impact on her.To see the love they had for us .Not even really knowing us.
So this Christmas was a very special Christmas.Not just the love of our brethren( which is special)it was also to show Jackie the love also.
God does work in different ways .Sometimes we humans do not understand.I have learned not to be so down on life's little problems.God will use these for our good.

What a sweet Christmas story! I love what you wrote at the end about not being discouraged by life's problems because God will use them for our good. It always makes a trial easier when I remember that the Lord is always trying to teach me something through it all. Love you and your dear Hubby!
Oh what a sweet story! God sure is sweet to us.
