Gratitude



Our computer crashed about 2 months ago. We had it fixed once and it lasted about 3 weeks before another virus killed it. A friends father just rebuilt it and said it might last a little longer but not for long. We knew our next computer would only be a Mac so it was going to be awhile before we could save up for one. We got a BIG surprise last night. Our wonderful kids surprised us with a new Mac computer!We were shocked to say the least!! We both feel that it is too much and they should return it but of course they will not hear anything of it. What touched me more than a fantastic computer was why they did it. They said they only remember having wonderful Christmases.They knew we had times when their wasn't much money but when they woke up on Christmas everything was there they had asked for.Jeremy can even remember back to Christmas 1992 probably one of our hardest but he remembers it fondly.I can't tell you how much joy that brought me!It's wonderful to feel so much gratitude from your children.

Needless to say my wife is amazingly talented and I always enjoy reading her blogs. We all had a great time in St George as we always do. I have the greatest family a man could ever ask for.

That was a very sweet jesture from your children. I hope the rest of your Holiday season is just a heart warming.
