We have been adopted by a family ( actually a collection of families who are all related) this year for Christmas. The other day, they brought over some Christmas presents totaling about $500! Included in this were diapers, formula and baby wipes for Regan, clothes for Christa (she needs them for her job), a gift or two for Caleb, something for me (not opened yet), $100 gift card from Macy's and $225 in cash.
We have been blessed beyond belief in this season of being unemployed. Not only are we extremely grateful for this, but it has made Christa and I think about how we might respond. We've decided that, starting next year (assuming I'm employed by then!) that we are going to adopt a family at church also and do the same for them. We want to bless a family that is down on it's luck and help them. Ideally, we'd like to do this with a series of families so that we can really bless someone.
