Favorite Gifts: Day 2

Christmas of 2005 I received this red box with a tassel on it from Chloe. She's very thoughtful and loves to buy gifts for others.  The timing of this gift was perfect.  My heart was hurting and heavy that year.  Inside the box I pulled out this little glass angel holding a red heart.




The angel was beautiful, but the message in the box is what meant the most.  The little card inside reads:

Angel Worry Box
The Angel in this box
Is the guardian of your heart.
Give her your worries
and your fears,
So hope and peace can start,
Keep this box nearby you,
And know how much she cares,
For when you need love and joy,
Your angel will be there.


Sis helped me remember my worries and pain are not mine alone.  He is always there for me. Waiting for me to turn to Him. One of the most beautiful, timely gifts I've ever received.
