God REALLY cares about lights!

If you didn't read my last post, read it first and then come back to this one!

If you are still here, then you've read the last post and you saw that God answered my shallow but heartfelt prayer about Christmas lights. Well, he wasn't through yet....
I went to church tonight for a Christmas program and when I came home I noticed we had several new light additions in the front yard! Scotty said that right after I had left for church, there was a knock on the front door. It was our friend Chris Woodruff and his 5 year old son CJ. CJ handed Scotty 6 boxes of lights and said, "We brought these over for you to use because we don't need them." Y'all, I am so glad I wasn't here because I would have scared that little boy to death with how much I cried!!! It was so simple and they probably thought it wasn't that big of a deal. They probably thought they were just bringing lights and didn't realize they were bringing a message of hope and encouragment from our Savior to 2 weary people. I don't think I'll ever look at our Christmas lights the same again!

I just saw that we commented at the exact same time on Audrey Caroline's blog. I thought it was a weird coincidence considering my name, and your sweet baby's name.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas!

Also, I loved the story about the lights, and I am totally with you about getting/needing/wanting highlights. :)
