My Blessing Box

[deborah0904]

Hi everyone:

I just wanted to share something I've been doing.  Since September when I began feeling really bad and prior to my MS diagnoses, I have had alot of my friends send me emails, cards, etc.  I was so humbled and overwhelmed by the love of everyone and was so encouraged by their actions.  

Saturday night, I went to Tuesday Mornings and purchased a very pretty, decorative box with lid so that I could put all these items in it.  I am calling it my "Blessing Box".  When I get discouraged, I will go through this box and read the cards, notes and emails.  Even if I'm not discouraged I am sure I'll go through it just to keep mindful of the love people have for me.

I know to some this might sound kind of strange but I tend to be a very sentimental person.  

My bedroom is decorated with the Leopard, Elephant, exotic theme.  The box I purchased is a leopard print with Orchids on it.  I can use it as a decorative item as well as a place to put my notes of encouragement.

If you aren't doing something like this, you may find it to be a great thing to do.

God Bless,
Deborah

I like this idea, even if I never find the time or energy to do it myself.  I will share the concept with others.  Thanks.

What a wonderful idea.  And if I may add to the idea, it wouldn't hurt to put notes to ourselves in there too! When something good happens to us, take a moment and write it on a slip of paper and tuck it into the blessing box.  When you get too low to think of the good in your life, it would be nice to find a reminder from yourself as well.  
Great idea,
Lulu
