WOW!!!
Wow...WOW! Do I feel loved today? Um, yes...YES, I do! First of all, this week, God has really been showing me his love in little ways every day that have been wonderful. Last night, I felt quite loved by my small group and woke up this morning feeling encouraged.
THEN, I went upstairs and there on the dining room chair I usually sit on, was a large box addressed to ME!! There was no return address except for the name and address of "The Fruit Company." Of course I opened it right away and then just stood there staring into the box. There was a a beautiful gift basket inside- one of those fancy ones all wrapped up like a still life- with nuts, FRUIT, candy, dried fruit- all displayed with a green ribbon tied around it! My first reaction was that I wanted to cry, but I was still too surprised to cry. I searched around the bottom of the box for the card. I opened it and was shocked again. The only words on the card were, "You are loved." No name, no explanation, just the most wonderful three words:
YOU ARE LOVED.
!!!!! I think I will frame that card and keep it forever.
Who in the world sent me this amazing and thoughtful gift? It was so perfect, so timely (and so yummy! haha)that it was as if God himself ordered it for me! I mean, just last Saturday I wrote about how I had been craving fruit all week AND just yesterday I listened to a song over and over again on youtube- "YOU ARE LOVED" by Josh Groban. AND of course I am always running out of money for food so the fact that this basket came means I not only had food for the day (or two or three) but it is delicious, amazing food! All those things combined to make an already meaningful gift just utterly...indescribable?? I have no words...the creative writer has NO WORDS to describe how this makes me feel. Oh, yes I do...LOVED! I FEEL SOOOOOO LOOOOVVVEEEDDD!!!
DID I mention it has an entire PINEAPPLE in it!!!??? I think I am going to pass out. There was also a bottle of sparkling pear juice (yay!) and you can be sure I will be using the basket and the ribbon when I am done enjoying all the edible things. :D
I emailed my older sister, called my mom, tried calling the company (they were instructed not to reveal the name of the sender!-bummer-but so mysterious!)...so I still have no idea who bestowed this special gift on me. I REALLY want to know! But if I can't figure it out, then hopefully "THEY" will know how much I am absolutely overwhelmed by and filled (literally and figuratively) by their love. THANK YOU whoever you are! I LOVE YOU!!!!!
