| A Labor of Love |
A lady in our church cross-stitched one of these for each of the church members
and gave them to us at Christmas. The lid really does open and inside there
is a white dove showing the words:
"May The DOVE OF PEACE Be With You...Merry
Christmas--Happy New Year!!"
Her gifts are truly a labor of love. When I showed her the mailbox and dove this morning at church and told her I wanted to write a story about them for my blog, she laughed and said she remembered making those.
More than ten years have passed since receiving her gift, and two new mailboxes, that I picked up at Thrift stores, have joined the small white one. All three mailboxes are located in different places in my kitchen and living room.
These mailboxes remind me how much I love receiving birthday cards, Valentine cards, cards of cheer, and thank you cards in the mail. They remind me, too, that others like to receive cards and letters. I like sending cards and writing short notes in them.
Receiving a card can make a world of difference in someone's life. I hope you like mailboxes after you read my story.

Mary, Jeff Grandmother made us a couple of those tiny needlepoint mailboxes as Christmas ornaments. She passed in 93 but waa as much my Grandma as his. Truly a labor of love!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy, thank you for your story about these dear needlepoint mailboxes. To make these is indeed a labor of love, and a love that is always remembered when you look at these mailboxes.
