I was overjoyed today to recieve my first mailing from my SS…I didn’t think I would get anything again today, because I had checked the mail at my PO box, and nothing was there…(Silly me couldn’t remember if I gave the house address, or the PO box) and I thought mail had already been delivered to the house, but Des said she saw the mailman come by, at 5pm…That’s unusual, as he’s usually here early afternoon…In any case, I was estatic!!

I have to apologize at the lack of pictures…I don’t have a digital camera of my own, and had plans to use my sister’s, but it is currently unavailable, with now availability in sight!! (Tamara, I hope that’s okay!!)

I recieved 4 sheets of “Precious Moments” stickers, that are just darling!! The girls both have sticker books, that these will look great in..(SS hope you don’t mind!!).

I also recieved a bookmark, with Deut. 26:11 on it…”Rejoice in every good thing!” It is a good reminder to me!! I love bookmarks!! I put that one right into one of my devotionals!

Best of all in the package, was a letter. A very sweet apology and explanation of why she was late sending things. It was nice to know that she hadn’t forgotten about me, and most of all that she had been praying for me! It was also nice to know that she trys to check my blog daily…That I am in her thoughts enough to make her take the time to go to my blog!! There are times, many times that I feel so lonely, and to know that people come to my blog, that people are out there, is really comforting!!

I would like to share a part of the letter that especially touched me, and is making me tear up as we speak…

“After reading your blog this week, I would like to encourage you to just keep on trusting God-especially concerning your Dec 18th entries! I am lifting you up in prayer and I am so excited about the praise reports that are on the way!! (hugs)”

At the end of the letter, she quoted Romans 1:7 “Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ”

All in all, it was a perfect suprise for the day!! It touched my heart, as it always does, to know that people do care for me!!

Thank you soooooo very much SS!!!!
