A box of happiness


Today Lydia and I went to to do some questionnaires. On the off-chance we popped into an estate agent and did a questionnaire with some of the ladies in the office. We chatted for about 20 minutes where one of the girls explained her faith and hope in life. They had both been regular church attenders but drifted out of church as life had changed. We asked one what gift she would really like in life and she answered ' a box of happiness'. Intrigued, we asked her what would be in that box and she answered ' security and love'. Lydia's gonna go back with that box next week - watch this space...
An so we bought a gift box with ribbons and put inside a teddy signifying 'love' and a chocolate thing with'security' written on it. Lydia wrote out some verses from the bible about how God has promised never to leave us and of his unending love for us. We went back and left the box on her desk - Lydis got a phone call this week ...
