Boxes! Boxes! Boxes!

Hello,

We are really moving! About a month ago Leroy was moaning because we did not have enough boxes and I never did anything about it. We asked at one grocery store, but they said we needed to check after 9:30 at night. Somehow neither of us ever seemed to think of anything that late. To Leroy, I kept saying in a placating tone, “It will be ok, we still have time.”

It is now close to being alright. Part of the problem with this move is that we have had little idea of how many boxes we need as we kept almost no boxes from the last move so we are “starting over”. Now if God is at good at finding us the right place to move to as finding boxes have that been supplied in abundance we will be in good shape at the right time. It amazes me how when I need plastic bags, boxes, and a kind word they just come on the threshold of need. Now all we need is a home. You know we read in the bible that the son of man had no where to lay his head, but we really do not want to join in that experience. It is one thing to read it and quite another to do it and that goes for trust too.

Our lives have been so blessed with beauty. For the last three Sundays we have been given flowers for our home. I have remarked, almost daily, on all of these bouquets and the pleasure that they bring. This morning the sunrise was beautiful enough to cause us to stop, take a deep breath, and draw the good into our bodies. Did you ever consider how much you can enjoy the sunset and still leave it intact for others to experience too. What bountiful blessings we are given.
