The roof over our office leaks. When it rains (or snows!), I have to position pans and towels along the desk and on top of the file cabinet, and rearrange computer equipment and papers. The cause of the leak is known: we need our shingles replaced. They are cracked and falling apart, allowing water to seep through. This has been a problem for almost a year now, but we haven't had the money needed to repair it (the estimate is around $400). Thankfully, it hasn't rained all that much this year in Virginia.
But I'm hoping for some snow. And our family has been praying for God to supply our needs. Clearly, he has been providing food for us. Is it too much to ask for some help with the roof?
Well, apparently not. This past Sunday our pastor gave our family a Christmas card from another, anonymous family in the church, who wanted to bless a family with what God has given to them. Our pastor chose us. The card-giver wrote, "Merry Christmas to you and your family- may GOD'S funds be used for your Christmas gifts and needs. From one God "owned" family to another." Inside was $500.

Hi :) I'm Anne and David's youngest daughter, and we've never officially met, although my husband and I met your husband when you were getting ready to move into your house last year. I've been "lurking" on your blog for a while without commenting, but I just wanted to tell you how encouraging your last few posts have been. It is such a blessing to read about ways the Lord provides for you and to be able to praise Him with you for His faithfulness to you and your family! He is so good!
