I got one in the mail today :) It made me smile REALLY big and totally made my day even more wonderful than it had already been. It was from my Youth Group back home in Virignia. It was mostly filled with candy, but there were also about four little notecards, some hot chocolate mix, and a little packet of Starbucks Via, which I thought was a cute touch for me, hehehe.
Although some people think it's odd or weird to send a care package to someone in my situation, I shrug that off. Yes, I live at home with my parents. However, my other home is back in Virignia. Back at my church, back with my friends. But especially my church. Although the box was small and filled with lots of sugary treats that I could easily pick up here, to look at that would completely miss the point.
The care package is meant to remind you, meant to encourage you. My little beautiful box was a hello from my other family back East. It was a reminder that I'm in their prayers and that they miss me. It was a loving note from my freshman buddy, a giddy note from one of my other confirmation loves who's now a fellow choir nerd; in essence, a box of love in note and candy form.
So thank you, HUMC, for not forgetting me. You are in my thoughts and prayers daily and I can't stress how much I miss you all. I send my love and hugs and will be home soon! ♥
