God Box

I recently made this box.  With so many decisions to make over the next few months, I wanted to give it all over to God.  This morning I am reading my Real Simple magazine and again I find myself sobbing.  Magazines, why do you do this to me?  Again I think I needed a good cry!  The article Inside the God Box is about the author's mother who kept not one, but about 10 God boxes and would write on anything she could find all the worries of her heart.  The sentiments were beautiful.  Always praying, for even the smallest things.  What a precious keepsake she left for her children as they found all 10 of them after she passed.  This morning I think yet again that I still have to make some boxes for my kids where I take a recipe box and with index cards write things and put them in the box.  Things like new words, funny things, milestones, wishes for them, memories, just stuff.  The perfectionist in me doesn't have the right box or enough index cards (because my husband has used all 2,000 of them to label everything in our home in Spanish).  Shame on me!  Thank you Mary Lou for reminding me that it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to be.  I think the same about my photography.  It has gotten to the point that unless it is perfect it sits on my 1 Tera bite hard drive for no one to see because it is not perfect.  Thank you for the reminder that we aren't perfect, we are God's creations!  He made us just like we are!
