THANKSGIVING SENT TO MISSIONARIES

i love having MISSIONARIES.

i love sending care packages,

especially for the holidays.

it bothers me when i forget.

it bothers me when i remember

 i forgot !

and so the zombie witch

sent an “AIRHEAD”  treat in 

with the “THANKFUL ME” mailer

i put a TURKEY sticker on jerky

and called it the

 “THANKSGIVING BIRD”

i put a CARMEL POPCORN treat

in the shape of corn on the COB

and called it the  “VEGETABLE”

i put a felt PUMPKIN sticker on a sucker

and called it “PUMPKIN DESSERT”

i put a PLACE CARD

where a list of “THANKFULS”

could be written and called it “BLESSED”

and a “HAPPY THANKFUL” card

with my heartfelt wishes

finally,

a DISNEY CHRISTMAS 

ADVENT

CALENDAR

celebrating their love for

disneyland, christmas, and the magic kingdom(s)

i placed the packages on the counter

i wrote the contents and cost of the package

at about $7.00

“I forgot the jesus stickers”

it was confirmed 

jesus stickers are the protocol

i thought, i’ll run next door to smiths

with all the christmas decorations

cards, tags, wrapping paper,

surely

there would be something.

i could not find anything jesus.

i went up and down aisles

i checked the religious secton

how can this be

the reason for the season

and he is no where to be found

no nativity that i could see

and that is another post

jenn is in honduras

i had been informed by my sis

that if you put jesus stickers over

the seal,

the package will be left alone

i was amazed

that a jesus sticker would protect

the contents of the package

and yet i am not.

jesus is my protector

and when i have him

sealed in my heart

and stuck on my countenance,

i too feel that

added measure of protection.

(dialogue)

“and what is the total?”

“do you want it to arrive in time for

THANKSGIVING?”

“that would be nice...”

“okay we can do that for one seventy three.”

“it is only $1.73?”

“no. $173”

“i think not given that the contents are under $10.00

and i do not have jesus stickers to assure 

my package will even make it into jenn's hands...”

he smiled.

i smiled.

i must be more efficient with the

christmas packages.
