Dear Anonymous

Jared & I received a card in the mail last week addressed to the "Patsfield Family"
This is the card and on the inside {hand written} were the words  "Dream Big" and a fair amount of cash. No one signed the card and there was no return address on the envelope.

I wish that I could THANK who ever sent this card! I wish I could tell them how much I appreciate their thoughtfulness!  I have been so sad lately due to that fact that we don't have a lot of money. We are barely getting by each month. It's been really hard for me to look at family and friends blogs. Looking at there homes, new cars,  family vacations, romantic get aways, etc. I keep telling myself this is temporary and Jared has 3 semesters of school left. But it still makes me sad when I have to decline  an invitation to one of Ethan's friend's birthday party or baby shower because I can't afford to buy a gift, because we  barely have enough  money to fill our car with car gas or to buy diapers for Sienna. 

  I'm so grateful for the things I do have now which is Jared , Ethan & Sienna and  I wouldn't trade them for a nicer house or any amount of money!  I'm also richly blessed with family and  friends that I can't  narrow it down to  just one person  that would have sent this card. Hopefully one day Anonymous will read this and know how they blessed our family with their kindness. 

Dear Anonymous,
Thank you so much for thinking of our family! Jared and I both shed tears of joy as we pondered of your generosity. Thank you for following the promptings of the spirit, your selflessness has truly brought peace to our hearts.  We hope to one day return the favor to you or to someone else in need. May Heavenly Father bless you and your family!  

With all Our Love,
                               The Patsfield Family

We had the same thing happen to us this last Christmas when Jeff was laid off. I know exactly how you feel. It is the best, most thoughtful thing someone could ever do. Yay for people who are that way and follow the spirit.
