We have been so blessed in SO MANY GENEROUS WAYS! I shared the verse below on Facebook today, and I will share it here as well.
II Corinthians 9:6-11 (New International Version)
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written:"He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor; his righteousness endures forever." Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
There have been MANY who have generously supplied Team Tabb! I most certainly would not be able to list all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon us by family, friends, acquaintances, and even practical strangers. But, I will once again send a HUGE THANK YOU to our phenomenal church family and friends. I cannot imagine how I would have been able to make it through the past few months without their extra hands and help. One of the other blessings that has come from the wonderful people has been cultivating of some great friendships! God bless you Cammie, Traci, Keesha, Amy, Deborah, Charlene, Marte, Ruth, Jennifer, Jane, Megan, Carrie, Michelle, Sharon and David, Anne, Tobey and Beth. You each have given so much of your time. I realize it's not an easy task to have committed yourselves to us for such an extended period of time, but please know how much it has meant to us! We treasure not only the gift you have given, but EACH of YOU!
The following is a perfect example not only of the tremendous support we have received, but of the generosity that we hope to be able to give back or 'pay it forward'.
Jessica (of Alabama) is a mother of triplets who was introduced to me by a mutual acquaintance, Keni. This past Friday, Jessica came across a Facebook post of mine from a few weeks ago regarding Landon and Leila being switched to NeoSure formula, which is more expensive than standard OTC formula. She then sent me a message stating that she had nineteen cans of NeoSure which she no longer needed. She requested our address so she could send the formula to us. When I inquired as to how much she was selling them for, she later responded that she had already mailed the nineteen cans. She did not want any compensation--not even for the PRICEY shipping! She simply said,”… just consider it a gift and a blessing from one MOM to another! There will come a time where you can pass along this blessing to someone else...just don't miss the opportunity God gives you! I have been blessed with many generous people in my life and especially since having the babies & I want to be that kind of person too.”Jessica, the cans arrived yesterday evening; I’m opened the first can this morning! GOD BLESS YOU! You are a testament to God's promise of II Corinthians 9:6-11!
