Wow! I was astonished.
We threw our arms up in surprise. Where did the tree come from? Who brought it? All I knew was that I loved it. The little tree looked like a recycled tree with a recycled star, but I didn't really care. Jubi adored the little tree, and started singing. Joy was just as pleased as she, and wondered out loud who the gift was for.
"I'm sure it's for all of us," Jubi said, and I agreed with her. The giver of the present wouldn't just give one gift for just one person. I turned around, and saw Mama standing behind us with a giant smile on her face. "Do you like it?" She asked. "I know it's not the tree you wanted, but..."
"Do I like it?" I exclaimed, interrupting her statement, "I love it!"
"I'm so glad!" She replied with a grin.
When the other girls saw Mama standing there, they joined me in a big hug. "Thank you for the tree, Mama!" We yelled in unison. Mama laughed, and thanked us for the big bear hug. "You girls are the best," She smiled.
And then I realized I shouldn't have doubted that God would make everything work out right. He gave us a tree, but that doesn't matter. The reason for the season is Jesus's birth. We all have everything we need, and I have everything I could want.
May your Christmas Eve be merry and bright, and may all your Christmases be white. :)
LOVE...
