FOUND A NEAT IDEA...

[shcreative]

for blowers from different party themes. I have some for a pirate theme and some for a fairy theme. Am going to use them either with the verse: make a joyful noise unto the Lord OR one about the promises(treasures) found in God's word for the pirate ones and for the fairy theme, want the verse about IF I go and prepare a place for you I will come again...

Just thot I'd share. I got 6 in a bag for .33 so a cute, fun, memorable keepsake...and hopefully many will put it in their happy boxes we started last year.

That is a neat idea. Tell me about the happy box?

Good morning!

I am curious too about your happy box. Can you explain?

HAPPY BOX

Postby shcreative » Sat Sep 27, 2008 10:01 pm
I am sure many here, if not all, have heard of Barbara Johnson and her joy room. IF not I suggest you find and read a book or two...you'll be glad you did.

But somewhere this past week I rec'd the following in an email and have passed it on to one Christian group I am on, challenging the gals to start their own Happy Box. Many have taken up the challenge, I still need to get going on my own. BUT I am also going to use this for mom's party in January, dark, dreary January...we can all use a little more cheering up then. Just thot I would share in case you can use it.

We all experience days when we feel spiritually
depleted-we feel down, un cared for, unloved. The
world is not our oyster today. Yet, like many of our
impressions, this too, is an illusion. We are the same
yesterday, today, and tomorrow, even though
circumstances may try to persuade us otherwise.

This is when we need the comfort of a "Happy Box."
Take the time to make one for yourself and you will
reap the benefits over and over. Fill your box with
items that you collect over a time; a special card from
a favorite aunt, your child's first attempt to write
"I love you," a photo of you and your best friend, That
pretty stone you found on vacation, your child's first tooth,
the ribbon off a bunch of flowers from a caring friend;
all help you to re-align yourself and see the world
as the wonder that it is.

Your "Happy Box" represents tangible items of the
love and joy that are present in your world each and
every day. It's like money in the bank of happiness.
Start your happiness account today.
