God gives better gifts than Santa

So my family went to Blue Ridge (our church) on Saturday to serve. I was working with the stage design team to build our next stage, John was working in his office, and the boys were happily occupied playing Wii.

One of our teenager's moms came into John's office. We love their family and especially their youngest daughter. She said she felt God lead her to give us a gift card. Not just any gift card, a gift card to Best Buy....we were so thankful!

But then she said it was for $500! Whoa! What!

That was incredible! What a gift from God!

So, we wanted to pray about how to use the gift card. We were out by Best Buy and the parking lot was packed, so John went in to see if Band Hero was on sale, and it was! $50 less, and it was the last one so we decided to get it.

When John walked out of the store with the huge box in his hands the boys flipped! Because all four of us can play at the same time...drums, electric guitar, bass guitar, and sing :)

Spencer said, "God gave us a better present than Santa did!"

It's so true. God gives His children the best gifts. Thank you God for providing for us more than we could ever imagine.

1 John 3:1

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!
