Well, Christmas is over. Sad, sad day! And it's almost the new year, which means this will probably be my last post for this blog. But don't worry, I'm already in the process of designing my Lessons of 2013 blog! I want to end this blog with a very touching story about something that happened to my family this Christmas.
On my mom's side of the family, we decided a couple years ago to do something different instead of giving Christmas presents to everyone. My grandma (or, Gigi, as we call her) thought that we should save our money that we would have used to buy presents and either give that money to a charity or help a family who needs it. Well, as we were sitting in their living room just talking, Gigi brought in a small Christmas tree that had some cards on it. As we opened the cards, we found that there was money inside. My mom looked at my grandma confused, and she explained that my aunt thought that we should be the family that was blessed this year. Of course, we all got teared up and couldn't believe it. I wasn't expecting anything at all, let alone something like this! I just felt so blessed! It was amazing, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. My family is amazing, and I'm so happy to be a part of it.
Thank you, God, for my sweet family! Lesson: Never underestimate the amount of blessings your family can shower upon you.
