I received a care package in the mail yesterday! It was from a very dear precious someone in Idaho!
She didn’t even know it … but I was really needing a “dose of hope”!
Inside this beautiful “Care Package of Hope” … were two very special handmade pot-holders – one for me, and one for my daughter!
So special!!
My “Care Package of Hope” also contained a very special God-story, about how God had showed up in her time of need and had met her with comfort and love! She included this special heart-shaped rock which she had picked up at the time … representing God – the Solid Rock!
Priceless!!
My “Care Package of Hope” also contained Seeds of Hope!
This past summer this precious someone painstakingly and carefully collected seeds from her favorite flowers … especially for me! She sent a jar for me, a small jar for my son & daughter-in-law, and a little jar for my daughter!
Priceless!! Absolutely priceless!
Look at all those seeds!!! That’s amazing!
She even included a few photos from her flower garden, so I could see what I have to look forward to! So much hope!
Is that not breathtaking! So much hope!! I can’t wait to plant them!
She included this photo of the seed pods at her house, when they were still green. Even the seed pods are strikingly beautiful!
She had written fabulously thorough instructions for me, so I would know how to plant the seeds … and how to harvest my own seeds next summer. What a priceless gift of love! I am beyond grateful!
Seeds of hope!
Sent in a beautiful “Care Package of Hope!“
A tiny last gift, tucked away carefully in the “Care Package of Hope” was a remaining dried seed pod … so that I could see what the dried pods look like.
As I stepped out on my back deck to take this photo, my phone was currently playing the song: “More Than Able” by Elevation Worship. It is a rather long song – almost 10 minutes long. At the moment I raised my phone up to take this photo … the song was at the point (about 3 minutes from the end) where the lyrics were: “He’s not done with me yet. He’s not done with me yet. There’s so much more to the story … You’re not done with me yet.”
I thought that was amazing!
This seed pod isn’t the end of the story. God’s not done yet … there’s so much more to the story! There are seeds in the seed pod … which will bloom into breathtaking beauty next summer!
There’s so much more to the story!
Hope! God knows when we need a “dose of hope”!
A huge Thank-You to the very precious someone in Idaho who followed God’s prompting and sent (without even knowing the burdens on my heart) a “dose of hope” to me … in a “Care Package of Hope!“
God truly is a Rock!
If perhaps you too are in need of a “dose of hope” … call out to God! Ask God for a “dose of hope.” He will answer!
God is a rock for you too! God will meet you in your place of need!
Or perhaps God might be prompting you to reach out to someone. You might not even know that they need a “dose of hope” … but God does. And God might be prompting you to send them a “Care Package of Hope.“
“The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.” – Psalm 18:2
