LITTLE PACKAGES


You get a present in a big box and you get excited, wondering what it could be. You get a small box, and you can get equally excited. The old saying: “Good things come in little packages” is so true.

I know a ‘little package’ and her name is Linda, she is the wife of my best friend, the mother of some great kids, and a good friend. Her mission in life is to live with Phil, it is THE job that someone has to do. Of course there is not enough money in this world to pay her for that job, but she humbly takes it on, a smile and a quick word to let you know she is holding up.

Linda took Phil for better or worse, and while she waited for the better to come along, she raised three children to ease the pain. She doesn’t wear her religion on her sleeve, but is in constant prayer, living with you know whom.

Today is her birthday! Like Phil she was a March baby, not unlike TLW (The Little Woman) and I, both July babies, almost on the same day!

In spite of living with Mr. Phil, she looks amazingly well, for the ordeal, and maintains a great sense of humor and survival!

So Linda, Happy Birthday! We are all still praying for you.
