My Family’s Money

I feel so thankful right now. A kind, anonymous individual blessed my wife and me today by giving us a gift that is a little more than one week’s worth of my take home pay. It came to us in an envelope unmarked expect for our names printed in the default Times New Roman font. When it was handed to us, I new immediately what it was, I just had no idea how much it was. In fact, I decided to wait a little while before even opening the envelope – figuring it was a nice note of thanks and maybe a gift card to Olive Garden or something like that. It was shocking when I opened it and found a simple inscription of blessing and the face of Mr. Frankling looking at me several times over. The feeling of gratitude I had in that moment felt so good. We still don’t know who did this, but we have some ideas (all of which could be wrong – we know a lot of really great, really nice people).

But since they blessed us anonymously, and since I can’t do this to their face, I wanted to express my gratitude back to them: Thank you for your gift, and may you be rewarded for you generosity and your kindness with gifts beyond anything I can bestow. May you find joy inexpressible and life abudnant. Be filled with a peace that surpasses all understanding. And let the knowledge that you are deeply and truly loved propel you on to great acts of love, and a deep sense of hope, and a rest for you heart.
