You brought a tear to my eye as I read how you endured the “Easy” for the large toy boxes. We have 12 children and often saw 3:00 to 4:00 am sessions following the “Easily Assembly” instructions. Thank heavens we endured and are now blessed with Grandchildren who have blessed us with Great Grandchildren. I agree that being recognised is much better than “things”.

Thank you Maurine, for this beautiful and timely reminder in this season of frantic shopping and preparation. It will continue to be a reminder to me to remember His birth and His ultimate gift to all.

Maurine, you are such a gift to many others, reminding us in thought provoking ways of who we are and what we are trying to both accomplish and to become. I was especially touched by your reference to your deceased daughter. I not only think Heavenly Father will bless her, I think He is using her to bless others, preparing those on the other side of the veil to accept the teachings and sacrifice of His son and prepare to receive all the blessings He has in store for them. She not only saw you, she sees Him. What greater gift than to be called to help others see Him. May this season be filled with joy for you and your family and for all who are His children.
