Overwhelmed!!

So a lot has happened since I wrote about my 2 miralces. Grayson barely has a trickle coming from his nose and we are praying that it will totally clear up by the weekend when we will be travelling. As for the other miracle, it was tied in to our finances. God has been so gracious in His prvision. Over and above what I even asked for or imagined that would be! Yesterday we were able to pay so many bills and even begin to make Christmas giving lists. Giving is such at the heart of who Trevor and I both are, and we are proud to see Grayson developing that too! I don't even know all of the places where the money came in from, and honestly I don't need to know! I am so overcome with gratitude and thanksgiving. I have seen the Lord work in my life only a few times like this, and never in this kind of a need-it-now situation! What a difference a week has made. I began praying for these miracles last Wednesday, and before the week is up, I am blown away! May all of the granters of this miracle be blessed in unspeakable ways for allowing God to use them to touch our lives in great and mighty ways!!!

But the biggest surprise of all came today, just a little while ago. This kind of stuff just doesn't happen to people I know, let alone me. Trevor left to go to work and quickly returned with 2 wrapped gifts and an envelope addressed to our family! My cellphone began to ring which is random because we have had them turned off due to cost. It had a wierd ring, which means my phone didn't recognize the number, so I didn't pick it up. After it rang 3 times in a row, I finally answered and the person simply said, "An elf left you an early Christmas present on your front porch. May God bless your family" and then they hung up! We decided to open them up right away. The gifts were for Grayson. An addition to the growing GeoTrax train collection that he loves. And one of the new trains that go forward and backward--of course the fire truck! But when Trevor and I opened the card to see who it was from and what it said, a stack of bills came pouring out. Trevor and I just let them drop to the floor as we just stared at each other, began to cry, and whispered quiet thank yous to God!!

God has been so gracious and giving to us that we can't stand anymore! The family of God and other friends have blessed us beyond measure this Christmas. If you are reading this, and you know somehting about this secret elf, please pass this along to them. We have already begun to pray that blessings be rained upon those individuals who have touched our hearts. This has been a great opportunity for me to talk to Grayson above the love of God, and how He passed along the wish for us to receive these gifts and given us a great surprise.

Thank you for your prayers that have been lifted up. And thanks be to God for His unspeakable gifts! Thank you for hearing our cries and responding with quickness and abundance!!
