We found a Love Note...

As most of you know by now I have two sisters and we are all very close.

My younger sister is 3 yrs younger than me and my baby sister is 12 yrs

younger. The picture above just reminded me of playing together as kiddos!


So I just had to share with you something my younger sister showed me last

night. Now, two years ago this summer she lost her house in a fire. They lost

everything! They were on a weekend getaway when it happened and that's

all they had was three days of belongings left. It was the hardest thing to

watch and then live through with them. Ok, back to last night. I walked in

her house and she said, "come here you have to see this!!". She had found a

year ago this little trunk that we had when we were kids and had just sat it

in the corner. For some reason last night she decided to take a look at what

was inside.



In the box she found a number of very special items. She found the dress

she was brought home from the hospital in. Along with a couple more dresses

and home made blankets she had received as a baby. Her baby photo

album, "sassy's", a yearbook, and some other items. She was soooo

excited and a bit teary eyed all at once! So was her big sister! This was

just the neatest thing ever!!

As I crawled in bed that night I began to wonder...why God? Why did

she decide to open that box tonight? Was it Your timing for some

reason that it was now she discovered her long lost treasures? I tend

to believe it was His timing....I'm still not sure why now other than

just to remind her...and me that He just loves us and longs to show us!

A friend reminded me the otherday that He was leaving little love

notes for me and that I needed to keep my eye open for them.

I think we all should remember to be aware of Him trying to

show us His love. We haven't had any rain here since the Fourth

of July....and it has rained off and on all week! Thank you Lord

for this refreshing rain! Lord, I'm sorry I take it forgranted and

don't slow down enough to see Your unconditional love all around!
