Before we left for church this morning I received this text:
"A sight I could never put words to. It was amazing. Tiff cried and has asked me a thousand times how I did it. Thank you so much. Thank you for putting the biggest smile on all our faces. Merry Christmas to all of you!!"
This mother told me she had to sit her two girls down and try and explain to them that Santa may not be bringing very much this year. She had tried to prepare herself for any possible questions they may have had. For weeks she had watched them write their wish lists for Santa and listened to them talk to each other about what they thought they may get this year. When she finally found the courage to confront them and explain the situation the only response was, "that's ok, we don't need to have anything". They never once asked why.
When I met this mom last week to help her wrap the gifts, you could just feel and see the relief lifted from her. She was thankful beyond words.
We have blessed this family which in turn, I believe, has blessed us also. Thank you all for letting me bring this family to you and I am so grateful to be a part of the Sink family!
