God is good and I know that Tina has a lot of things that she can put in the box and wonderful God stories to share with her family and with all of us. Linny, I continue to marvel at your generosity to and your love for us bloggy friends. Thanks for being a mentor to all of us! I continue to pray for your family and for all that God is doing in your life.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RobinPatientlywaitinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468260896844965110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-38495767590284065212009-08-24T14:33:15.561-07:002009-08-24T14:33:15.561-07:00oh..Linny Linny!

I cannot wait to explain to my children what a Memorial Box is and ask them what they feel the first few items are we should put in them.<br /><br />And what a blesser you are... to get 10 boxes!!!! No wonder you waited to long to tell...it was probably so fun walking around knowing the big joy you had to share! lol<br /><br />Blessings to you my dear.

i have been coming...all i can say is YIPPEE JESUS!!<br />i have been coming back to your site for (over?) a week and each day am hoping this is the day this is the day. . . <br />okay, i can wait. patience is good, right??<br /><br />and then i thought ohhhhh monday is memorial box monday!! maybe today!! and yes!! it's today!!<br /><br />i scrolled down (and forgive me, i'm going to have to go back and read. . . sorry!!) and i promise you my adrenaline was escalating. . . i'm not 10th, or 9th. this is good! or 8th, or 7th. . . good!! i'm sixth!! wow, i thought. i got so close. that's cool.<br />a little crushed, but cool. i'm about celebrating winners, right? so i keep scrolling down. <br />i see isaiah's sweet smiling face (that kid has the most infectious smile!!) and then the toes. . . hahaha and then tina, who won. <br />i kept reading.<br />and reading. . . <br />and my heart started to race again. . . <br />are you flippin kidding me?? <br />we all (gulp) won??<br />i am speechless (well i guess not really) that our precious redeemer would use YOU to bless ALL of us!! <br />my children have recently gone to go to college. i'm looking forward to collecting our story to put in our memorial box. and to tell the stories when we get together. God didn't get ahold of us until after we had our children, but he's been at work in and through us ever since.<br />what a treasure to remind our children of God's faithfulness, to be able to gather and celebrate God's hand in our lives, His providence, His trustworthiness. <br />and not only our children, but the people who should chance to visit. <br />thank you for helping us give God the Glory in all he does in and through us. <br />i'll be looking for a memorial box that i can one day pass on to another. (in addition to the two i will give my children on their wedding days). what a blessing you are, linny (and dw and the rest of the clan) and how you've spawned a sweet tradition to at least one family (i darenot speak for the other winners).<br />congratulations to my fellow winners. what a HUGE honor!!purejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095975148508760030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-67505378403628410892009-08-24T05:44:41.182-07:002009-08-24T05:44:41.182-07:00That is amazing.

I just figured you were coming up with some crazy contest for the 10 of us...not letting us all win. I'm speechless, and that doesn't happen often. Thank you, Linny! I've already been looking for the first objects for my Memorial Box. :)Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037209772047529465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-58881204796354395862009-08-24T03:30:14.566-07:002009-08-24T03:30:14.566-07:00Linny,
You are very, very special. I am so excited...Linny,<br />You are very, very special. I am so excited about this and at the same time a little scared because I don't think this is something that will come easy to me. I can come up with the God stories for sure but the objects to go with them might be harder. I do know that this is something I really, really want to do though and I was going to buy one if I didn't win one.<br /><br /><br />Yesterday was a VERY emotional day for me and I cried, cried and cried all day. I was reading the book Scared by Tom Davis. At one time as Chris was trying to consult a crying wife I looked at him and asked if we are doing enough to teach our kids about the amazing God we have. <br /><br />What an awesome tool this will be to show our kids how amazing our God is.<br /><br />Linny, this means so much more than just winning something. THANKS YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!Chris and Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621079524278903715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-6505603174998608382009-08-24T02:47:15.839-07:002009-08-24T02:47:15.839-07:00You are the sweetest,I had a feeling something was...You are the sweetest,I had a feeling something was "up"!<br />Congratulations to all the winners!!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792117187001612101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-423393748873987255.post-2719738600442853272009-08-23T22:42:53.059-07:002009-08-23T22:42:53.059-07:00You are 2 funny!
