I know you are all waiting for the van story- and I WILL post it! Lord willing, it will be soon. It is a rather long story, however, and I haven't had any long moments to put the thoughts in a logical form to post. I must do it soon as our van story is nearly a week old already! Until then, let me just say that it seems that we live from one moment of desperation to another.
During one great conversation I had last week my cousin asked about our financial situation. He said that he didn't think it was any of his business before, but he wondered what we were going to do for Christmas. "I'm hoping that you guys aren't having to decide between Christmas gifts for the kids and food," he stated with concern.
"Oh no!" I exclaimed quickly. "That was easy- we chose food! The kids know that they aren't getting Christmas gifts this year (from us) and that's okay."
It is true and it is good. We had more than we needed and there WERE gifts under our tree (thanks to generous relatives and friends) as well as good (albeit simple) food on our table. We lack no good thing.
