Make Someone’s Day! A Surprise in the Mail

June 17, 2011 by Sherri 1 Comment

The other day the doorbell rang and it was the UPS guy! I was surprised to see him, because I hadn’t ordered anything. It wasn’t my birthday and it wasn’t Christmas. So, what in the world could it be?

When I unwrapped it, I began to scream with excitement and burst with joy! Was it an expensive necklace or airplane tickets to the Bahama’s? Was it a new shirt or nick knack?

Nope! It wasn’t anything like that! In fact, you will never guess what was in this bundle of thoughtfulness wrapped up in a box! In all truthfulness, it really didn’t matter what it was. Getting a package in the mail is all about the thought, the love and the time which shouts, “I care and I am thinking about you!” Wow! This really made my day … my week … my life!!

Do you know anyone who lives with chronic illness, pain, injury or some sort of disability? Send them a package, stop by for lunch or bring them some groceries next time you shop. You will MAKE their day and your gesture will let them know you are thinking of them, you care and you LOVE them!

“Ahhhh….. the little things in life that make me smile! And I’m counting them all!” ~Sherri Connell“Ahhhh….. the little things in life that make me smile! And I’m counting them all!” ~Sherri Connell
