The Christmas Jar Revisited

A couple of years ago, I posted about The Christmas Jar. Well, tonight we got a knock on our door and opened it to find a cute little Christmas bag. We opened it to find this...


It is mostly quarters and is a lot of money. We are so humbled by how kind people are to us. I'll be honest, sometimes it's really hard to be on the receiving end of charity. Until the past few years, we were on the giving end, which is much easier. But knowing that people are mindful of us and love us enough to share what they have is truly humbling and comforting. 

This has been a long and emotional week for me. I'm so grateful that it ended with this selfless act that reminds me why we really celebrate Christmas.
