What a blessing!!

I have to share the wonderful blessing our family received last evening. We went to the kids school orientation. It is an opportunity to cover any changes from last year to this year, meet the staff, introduce new families, etc. During the evening, the school's accountant got to do his announcements relating to tuition, lab fees, and such. He also announced some winners.

This past spring, the school held a "jog-a-thon". This was an opportunity for the kids to send letters to various family and friends, requesting that they pledge money against the number of laps the kids would walk in the span of half an hour. The school capped the laps at 25, so that the kids wouldn't "break the bank" on people. There were awards announced of credits toward tuition for the top three fundraising families. I didn't give that any thought, we just did our part for the school. All three kids completed their 25 laps, got to have a picnic and fun at a local park. End of story......or so I thought. Well, to our family's shock and amazement, we were the top family. This gave us a credit of $750.00 on our tuition bill. We are all so thankful to God for this blessing. That credit will pay for a lot of trips to school and back. Thank You, Lord!
