A Reminder of God’s Promises

The mailman brings an Iowa woman an uplifting gift of tokens to remind her of blessings from the Bible.

The Perfect Bible Lesson

One day the mailman left me a lumpy manila envelope. Its contents puzzled me at first—until I read the accompanying letter from a special friend.

“This is a ‘love kit,'” she explained. “Each of the items enclosed represents a promise God made about blessing your life. I’m sending it to remind you how much He cares about you—and how much I do, too.”

I got out my Bible and, one by one, looked up the verses attached to each item:

  • A bar of candy—Psalm 34:10
  • A shiny dime—Philippians 4:19
  • A key chain—Proverbs 3:33
  • A packet of colorful tissues—Job 11:16
  • A big red eraser—Jeremiah 31:34
  • A Band-Aid—Psalm 147:3
  • A pretty comb—Matthew 10:30,31

By the time I finished reading about God’s abundant provision for my needs, comfort, frogiveness, healing and protection, I was wearing a wide smile. The ordinary but whimsical little trinkets had brightened my day, and browsing through the Bible had refreshed my mood.

In fact, I continued to page through it looking for verses to send to a 17-year-old. I was already planning the “love kit” I’d make for her birthday!
