I love the spirit of Christmas and getting to see amazing things happen, that really are just miracles.
I am just writing these down so I can remember them and how truly blessed we are, not even just around Christmas, but all the time.
We can really find little miracles in a lot of things if we just look.
As a family, we had two little miracles happen for us. Just cool experiences that I want to remember.
First of all, I have a friend who's Dad lost his job in August. He still hasn't been able to find a new one and we knew the Christmas season wasn't going to be easy on them. My mom thought it'd be nice if we took to out for dinner. Well, they have six people in their family as well as we do. Dinner for 12 can get pretty expensive, so she was trying to think of a way we could make it less expensive. She ended up thinking that we could just get Dragon Hill, and all share some of the food trays. However, when she told them about her plan, she just decided to say we would take them to Olive Garden. She didn't really know what made her decide that, but she just did. She told us we needed to order water and that we'd have to share entrees, since Olive Garden is a pretty expensive resturant. Well, my Dad met us there and it turned out he had gotten a 50 dollar gift card to Olive Garden earlier that day. It paid for about a third of the meal, and we just felt so blessed. My mom didn't know about the gift card when she chose the resturant, and we were just so thankful that blessings come when you are trying to serve others,
The other one was when we were at church on Christmas, the Bishop announced that a family had told him they had a washer and dryer that they were willing to give to anyone who needed it. When we got home that day, we discovered that our dryer was broken. The timing was incredible and we were able to get a new dryer from a neighbor.
Things like this don't happen all the time, and I know my family was blessed this Christmas season.
