MY DEAREST SECRET ANGEL,
Your identity is unknown to me. The single clue inside the legal-sized envelope with no return address shows me you are from the Faribault area. I suspect (hope) you read this blog.
Thank you for the cash gift which arrived in my mailbox today. I wasn’t expecting anything for Christmas.
You clearly possess a kind, caring and loving heart. I am grateful for your generosity, compassion and recognition that I really needed this gift. Not solely in the monetary sense, but to uplift me.
It’s been a difficult year with challenges that stretched my endurance. Many remain. But, with the love and support of others and my strong faith, I’ve managed. Hope prevails.
You, dear angel, have shown me the true spirit of Christmas. Thank you. And Merry Christmas!
Blessings,
Audrey

A blessing in disguise
Makes one sigh in relief;
It makes him real cheerful,
With joy instead of grief.
A blessing in disguise
Comes when least expected;
A blessing in disguise
May come to anyone;
God turns even crisis
Into a blessing in disguise.
