I am touched
One of the little ladies, Anika, is 16 years old and has a heart of gold. Her family has been experiencing serious monitary problems for almost two years now. The father is on disability, the mother has certain health issues, and they have four children still living at home. When the problems started last summer, they still managed to get me a birthday gift. I was moved. And they didn't fail to do so this year again, as I walked in the church yesterday, Anika quickly handed me a gift with a card she had personally made. Once again, I was moved, and speechless. This is the family who at times feared not being able to make it to church because they were not able to afford the gaz for their van....
Did I mention that it's a very nice gift too, sort of a gift basket, with a very nice blue bracelet, chocolate and two christian books. One of the books tells about four dramatic stories of great hymn writers, it is called Well with my Soul.
This kind of selfless gesture really touches and moves you. I am so thankful for the only King James Bible believing church in Montreal and am glad to fellowship with my church family once again!

I think my generosity would fail under such financial stress. That's really neat. You are truly blessed, Sarah!

That is so sweet. I know what it's like to be in a financial situation very much like that (only we've got just 3 kids at home -- it really helps that Dave and I have jobs to support ourselves). I also know what blessings come from giving when it seems like you can't give!

Amen, Carey, I know the Lord will bless that family with riches eternal.
*Nice picture, you are gorgeous* :)
