Reading Merrym's blogs about Marcus, one might think: "This can't be real." "No one can be that giving." "She must be exaggerating." But Merrym is the real deal. She does care about others until it hurts. She is so kind, that it is hard to believe. When she told me what she was doing about Marcus, I had my concerns. As things came together, I knew it was God's will.
I take care of Merrym's bills, so I know exactly how much money she has. I try to save a little each month so she will have 'present money' for Christmas and birthdays. Somehow there is always enough money. Someone always slips a little money to me here and there, which really helps her out.
Merrym's kids' wants have always been small. They have known their mom doesn't have much money, so they don't ask for expensive things. I believe because of Merrym's giving heart and the unselfishness she has taught her children, they have been blessed financially at just the right times. They have been the recipients of gift cards (sometimes as much as $200) from the school and PTA. The kids have also received new shoes from programs they have through the schools to help those in need. Our churches have also been more than giving in to many ways to mention. At Christmas from time to time anonymous boxes appear and family members have also been very giving.
Merrym never went searching for financial help, she has just been blessed with it. God takes care of those who help others.
Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.
Luke 6:38
Love, Mother Hen Glory
