The Box Part 2

I got an email from my dad today.
Here's what it said:

The BOX contents have you wondering………  This is good---very good.

Some hints – it a small box.  So it’s none of the things you mentioned on your blog.  It involves sugar, and something that will be hot at some time and something soft.  There will also be some popping noises after you open the BOX. 

I must apologize – it will hopefully get into the mail today – I am at work and mom is at home sick today.  Steph has the day off, so I’m going to ask her to go to the house and get mom some soup for lunch and then take the BOX to the post office.

BTW, I’m allowed to drive you crazy.  I’m the dad.

And this dad loves you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, now that the contents that I have thought were in

the box

have been ruled out,

my mind is now working overtime to figure out what is in 

the box.

So rude.

But so thrilling at the same time. 

Sometime this week I will be getting 

a box 

from my parents, 

and I can't wait to get it. 

Mainly because I miss my parents, 

but also because I am dying to know what is in

the box. 

On another note, 

today was quite thrilling.

A group of us girls from church

went to a nursing home

and delivered flowers and cards 

to widows

for Valentine's Day. 

They were so sweet and so very surprised 

that we would remember them. 

So, Happy Valentine's Day (a day early).

I know that it's a commercial holiday, 

and is usually reserved for couples. 

But I find special joy in it. 

It reminds me of how special it will be 

when I do actually have someone to share it with.

But not only that, but I find that this day

is one where I can encourage my fellow sisters in Christ

and remind them that they are loved. 

Blessings.
