Good News!!

Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land. 
Proverbs 25:25

It was one year ago that the crate going to Indonesia was packed and sealed
to be sent across the ocean . . . as soon as they got their visas.
Well . . . the anticipated day did not come until December
and the crate, sent in January, arrived this week!!

I so wanted to be a fly on the wall when this day came along

anticipating the joy of unpacking a little bit of what was special in Canada.

But the photos, along with Grammy's imagination, are going to have to be good enough.

 Kenna got to hug her long-awaited-for babies
and generally . . .
everything from a garlic press to a trampoline was never so appreciated!

As hand-me-down and borrowed items will be returned or help someone else in need . . .
these days I imagine a home being set up with new dishes, pots and pans,
kitchen appliances and room decor . . . 
every piece thought about long and hard as to the importance of packing it
and many a piece a reminder of someone who loves them back home.
