NEVER say NEVER!


The Lord sends blessings each day! Sometimes it may seem harder to see them than at other times. Then there are times when blessings are out there and you don't even know it and of course sometimes the opposite takes place. You know the blessing is out there but it doesn't show up, ... until the right time. Such was the case with the Easter box from our friends and former neighbors the Gaudings. They mailed it March 14, 2007 and it arrived October 2009. It took about 2 and half years to get here, so never say never. PNG customs was keeping it safe for us, it arrived to them on the 30th of March 2007 as the picture below shows. We appreciate the Gaudings
thoughtfulness and we appreciate the thoughtfulness of all who have sent cards, gifts and prayers these past 8 plus years, they do mean a lot to us! Each of you who think of us and say a pray when the Lord lays us on your mind, bless us with God's love and care. We had a church a few years back whose box was a few days short of a year in arriving, but the Gaudings are now the official, no doubt about it winners of the longest time it took a box to arrive to Papua New Guinea. So I guess no time is to long to arrive and to the best of our knowledge only one box is still out there somewhere in package land. So maybe the Gaudings hold on the "Longest Package to Arrive" title could be in jeopardy?! Thank you everyone for blessing our family, may the Lord bless each of you richly!
