Thank You to our Angel!

As we are coming very close to our first year in the United Stated ARMY, we have been so blessed! We moved into our apartment in late October and then immediately began saving up to spend Christmas with family. We went over our budget and were not going to be able to get ANY gifts for our girls this Christmas. I felt a little sad and disappointed, but we knew that God would provide the understanding for our two little girls. This move really hit them hard. They miss everyone so terribly!
You see there is a very important organization that links up lower level enlisted personnel with sponsors for Christmas. They voluntarily go out and spend their hard earned money  on gifts for military children all over! I truly believe we got the absolute BEST "ANGEL" out there. I will not go into any specifics, because truly, it is not about the presents.She really went beyond my wildest dreams! I am talking BEYOND! We decided as soon as she contacted us and informed us that she will be mailing out the 2 very large boxes the next day, that we would tell our girls that these gifts were a blessing from God through a very kind and loving lady.
**They loved that they had received so many wonderful presents from their "Angel".

***I now know that as soon as Josh and I are able to, we will begin to sponsors 2 kids every Christmas. We will never forget the generosity that our Angel showed us.
In closing, please just remember that what we have as our life plans will always be second best to God's masterful plan!
Love,
A Very Blessed Mitchell Family
