Tender Mercies

I love traditions! While things are financially hard right now but we are making it by little tender mercies and being wise. We have a tradition to make gingerbread houses each year.  We have not missed a year since we have been married.  While with things being tight, we just couldn't buy a kit.  I just pushed it off; the kids would ask but I just wold them to talk to Dave about it.  I knew that I would make the house, but then the candy we needed and in the kit it has the right amount of candy.  Well, yesterday morning Sarah asked me once again about if on the way to church, and I once again changed the subject.  Well, last night we where shone so much love from others and with that on our door step was a gingerbread house kit along with many other wonderful gifts that our kids will love.  I know that this was a tender mercy from above.  I know that it was little, but to me and my children this was important.  And if it is important to us it is important to him.  I am so thankful for this gift of love! I know that he know me and my family and doesn't just know me and my needs but my he loves me!
