Blessing in a box....
Before we arrived in Switzerland, we planned out carefully what are the things that we most needed to bring that would fit in five suitcases, two carry-on bags and two computer back-packs. We had to decide which books we would like to read (maybe even for the second or third time). I decided I would take my study Bible, since it has so many notes that I have written over the years through out the margins from varies sermons that I have heard to Bible studies I have taken. However, it dawned on me that I had not brought along a purse or a pocket size Bible, that fits easily into my purse. So, I have been contemplating; do I order a small Bible via "on-line" through the Christian book store or do I look and buy a small French Bible here in Switzerland?
Today, we received in the mail two boxes filled with wonderful surprises; some delicious food items (especially the Oreo cookies), others are necessities (that are not always easy for us to buy here). As we continued to dig down through one of the boxes, I could not believe what I saw......The New Testament Psalms and Proverbs in both English and French (written side by side) and the size....yes, you guessed it, it's purse size ~ exactly the size I was imagining. A blessing in a box!! God provides even our smallest needs. God is so good!
We THANK YOU so very much Dad and Mom for the "care packages"!!
