Giving and receiving

59,60,61,62,63,64,65 boxes packed and labeled, and stacked around the house.
But there is still so much more to be packed...

So we went to the moving company's store today to purchase more boxes - some of them were specialty boxes costing big bucks. $25 to package our artificial rose? $38 for another box? We were starting to make a list when the employee, upon learning that we were shipping with his company, asked whether we wanted used boxes. "I can give those to you for free," he said, and proceeded to throw a whole bunch of boxes on a cart. "How about some paper? Tape?" Gratefully we accepted everything until our car was stuffed to the max. "Come back if you need more," he added.

What a blessing! We had given generously to others and received that which we were in need of. Surely God gives back to those who give to the poor!
