Monday there was much to do
coordinate Christmas gifts and more
so many families this year
line of presents out the door
a volunteer sweetly smiled
I wished her all the best
and as we rested from the day
an envelope she had left
inside the flap were crisp new bills
I couldn’t believe my eyes
and so came my first of tears
I lifted praises to the skies
Tuesday was delivery day
so much for us to do
so tired at the end of it
kids slept the whole night through
I thought I heard a knock so late
upon our darkened place
in stocking feet I shuffled there
you should have seen my gaze
our porch was filled with gifts and such
such an amazing sight
a turkey, foods and Christmas stuff
they shimmered in the light
So thankful I was for these things
my kids would be so thrilled
I still hold closely to my heart
this Christmas miracle

This is part two of three posts about a Christmas miracle that happened when my children were little. My husband and I were in charge of a non-profit that provided needs to the needy in our county. We managed to live on very little but never had extra money for socks and shoes and definitely not Christmas trees, ribbon and gifts.Our own families were very poor so they could not help us. I believe the catalyst for this 7 day miracle was the prayer of a little boy wanting his sister to have Christmas and the faith to believe it could happen.
Part one here.
I’ll eagerly wait for the other miracles, this one was awesome,Leslie.
