One Thousand Gifts . . .


I imagine hearts floating out as boxes are opened.

Hearts floating, prayers answered.

Packed with love.  Thought into each gift, prayer over each box.

Contagious joy.

It's not hard to love a child never met.  Some commandments are easy to obey.






Here's a video of Shelby and Delia realizing they don't have toothbrushes for their boxes.  After so many years of packing, it's strange to forget toothbrushes.  There's a little bit of the blame game starting . . .




My gratitude list continues . . .
