i am a mom, a college student, and a wife with a lot of bills. this christmas my children won't recieve any gifts from my husband and i because we are struggling to pay bills and pay our own way through school. i am not looking for any big or over the top gifts ijust don't want the kids to have a christmas like they had last year. we had no tree, no gifts, and our big christmas dinner was some cornbread, chicken noodle soup, and some candies i had recieved as a gift at work. i cried so much at the sight of my oldest sons sad expression that morning, but GOD is good because he sent me the best family ever. i tried as best i could to explain to my 9yr old about the money situation and the fact that we were about to be homeless at the time but he's a little kid who does not pay the bills so how could he even begin to understand? now that we are in an apartment and a little stable the bills have been piling up on us and once again our children will have to suffer. if you are reading this letter please don't feel sorry for us we are strong and love the LORD, we are just in need of some extra help just for the kids. i have not even asked what they wanted for christmas this year knowing i had no money but they both love music, board games, and skateboarding. my boys are 10 and 3.
