I was surprised last Friday when I got home to a big package from my friends at The Attic Yarn and Craftery. The ladies behind my favorite yarn store have recently been on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and Egypt.
For Christmas, they sent me this care package filled with goodies from Jesus’ part of the world:
A magnet from Egypt, which is perfect since I collect magnets!
A papyrus scroll of the Ten Commandments
A box of dates
An olive wood rosary
A sterling silver cross necklace
A Mother of Perpetual Help keychain
Small crucifix with bottles of earthen elements from the Holy Land
The author poses with her gifts from the Holy Land
Religious items and sweets from the Holy Land
This present makes me feel so giddy. The religious articles have already been blessed, and they are ready to be used in prayer.
I can’t wait to have a more rewarding year ahead, knowing that I have friends who kept me in their hearts whilst they were in the Holy Land.
May we all be filled with blessings this year, and beyond!
