At my 60th celebration in Puebla, Mexico, I was so touched that my house-owner prepared everything (with her family’s help) from home-made food to putting up the tents. So, I thought with God and asked how could I say “thank you” in a meaningful way. This is what I did - told my life story through items that meant a lot to me and a box of chocolate for each family. I want to share them with you so that you can taste God’s grace and goodness in my life. I am blessed by God’s love to be a blessing to others. The Thank You 1. Box of chocolates- I love chocolates, especially dark chocolates. (I hope that dark chocolates are a necessary dessert in Heaven!) 2. A violet string to hold the various items - God reminds me that I am a royal citizen of His Kingdom. A warrior Princess, no less. The Bible says that I am part of the royal priesthood. I believe this. Violet is the color of royalty. 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own
