In the last two weeks I have been blessed with three…yes THREE packages from friends in the states. They could not have come at a better time in my life!Each of us have moments of stress and overload, of emotional exhaustion and business, apparently this was my time. My first package was from my friends Brian and Niki and my Lifegroup at Southbrook Church. I was not sure exactly what it was since I gone a different note in my box but then I saw it. The lady at the post office had to open the second window! I thought I could pick it up on my way to the store with my friend but when I saw how big it was my friend and I both started to laugh. “This should be interesting!” I thought as I grabbed the box from the lady. My friend and I walked to her house with this box and as I continued to switch my grip (though I was NOT complaining!) she laughed and snapped pictures of this strange expat carrying a box bigger than her arms could reach!
Thank you for sending me this package, it was such an encouragement and so unexpected! My friend (also a teacher) and I caressed the crayons, NEW white board markers, sticky tack, lotion (shared all around might I add), and the oh-so-delicious hazelnut iced latte singles (which I am enjoying at the moment :). You are a blessing to me!
Last week I went to my box expecting some medicine and I found yet another yellow ticket! I won’t say it to loud, even though I feel like screaming for joy, since others wish they had one too. I think I knew about one of them but the other one was a welcome surprise. The two packages were from my friends Andrea and Lynn! Thanks guys.I have put all of your gifts up on my dresser drawers so I can look at them for a while (very little entertainment he
re folks) and continue to remind me of God’s faithfulness. I know this might seem like a simple thing, a package in the mail, but I see it as a constant reminder of God’s love for me, your friendship, and his constant provision. Many things that came in these boxes are things I have been needing either for my class or for my house. Construction paper, good band aids, post-it-notes that actually stick, stickers, notebooks and thank you notes, and so much more! As well as the full little goodies: ornaments, lotions, movies, tea and coffee, and even tissues that look like $100 bills! haha!Thank you again for making my days so much better. I pray that God will bless you in abundance as you have blessed me!
So glad you got it. I had so much fun putting that package together, you have no idea! The post office said it should arrive in 6-10 days HA! I think it took 2 months! I didn't know if or when you would get it but I figured God had prefect timing and cares about the little things such and encouraging packages. I miss you so much. I really wish you were here to sit down and have a cup of coffee with. I miss just hanging out and having someone to vent to.
