San Antonio, Texas—

I’ve never heard about the Christmas Jar, and today December 22, 2018, i was given the Christmas Jar along with the novel, I wish I knew who left it on my porch so I can say thank you and may the good lord bless them always. 

Last month, my husband was incarcerated due to immigration status. These past few weeks have been so difficult for my children and I. I’ve been struggling with paying my bills and struggling to put food on my table, but regardless of what I’m going thru I will remain positive and know that God’s plans are perfect, and that at the end of this dark road I will soon see the light. I will always cherish this amazing thought and I will continue the tradition for someone in need. 

To whomever, left this jar on my porch, I would like to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart; thank you for keeping my children and I in your thoughts; I wish you and your family a life full of blessings and may God continue to bless you like you’ve blessed us. I promise to continue this tradition and thank you for giving me hope, that God is always with us. 

Thank you!! Happy Holidays 

Love,
