The Special Gift

The day I received a package from her, I will not forget. The wrap was neatly folded and tucked away with a bow on top. A special gift for me to enjoy and I love her so much too. Of course it would be a gift I look forward to. Whether it was for my birthday or for Christmas I didn't remember. I think it came around my birthday time. The gift was wrapped up in my favorite color blue.

I ripped open the package one by one. Out of the wrapped gift came a wonderful journal set with a galaxy theme. I thought it perfect to record my journey of my travels in it as a keepsake. A journal to keep for all the years of my life. I still have the journal and the journey to California written on its first few pages.

She is still alive and well. A family member of mine who lives half a country away from me. I still remember her whenever I pick up the journal. It is one gift I cherish the most. The galaxy is a wonder of God's creation and we breathe in the air of one of the planets.
