#givethanks - Day 7

 I am overwhelmed with the generosity of Christmas angels and gift givers. I am so thankful for their kindness to me and the boys.

-We have a Christmas angel who will be surprising the boys with gifts under our tree.

-Another Christmas angel gave us a $100 gift card. I bought Christmas stocking candy and gifts for the boys.

-A neighbor asked if we could use some meat. Yes! Her parents filled up my freezer. We will be eating well for a year, at least.

-I was given two turkeys plus a turkey breast. I made up one turkey for our family dinner and then learned how to can all the others. It was empowering and I know it will be so yummy in the months ahead.

-A kind person left this bag of kindness on my doorstep this morning. I feel so loved on my first Thanksgiving holiday without a husband or kids. It feels strange knowing they are at Gpa/Gma T's sitting down together to eat and I'm not there. 

-A few weeks ago a dear friend brought her kids over to decorate my door with these adorable hand cut hearts and trees. 

-We also got some help with some food from our local Bishops Storehouse. It was a blessing - especially the vanilla ice-cream for Luke. 

-Months ago my little sister asked how she could help. I asked if she would be willing to buy us a Christmas tree. I love it so much!

Everyday I give thanks and ask Heavenly Father to send special blessings to those who have been so kind and giving to us. I am so, so, SO blessed.
