Where do we find our Joy?
What does it take to bring us Joy?
Just what is contentment?
A friend of mine works in an orphanage in Russia.
It's cold there right now - very cold.
As Christmas draws neigh, He witnessed something pretty cool and I share it here:
He was watching a little boy pull a beaten-up empty box on a piece of twine behind him. For a second, he thought "how sad", but then he saw the true JOY on the boy's face as he ran and pulled that box bumping behind him. He said it was an incredible sight.
Some enjoy the beautiful wrapped packages, some the thoughtful gift inside, some the cardboard box.
Just attach a short piece of twine and pull.

There is no gift like a big brown box for a kid. A box and some imagination and they have a gingerbread house, or a tree fort, or a castle, or a cave.. car.. truck.. pirates chest, ship or maybe just a dingy. Best gift you get for a young kid is a simple brown box!
This brings back a fond memory of you and I as kids, living in the trailer park. We got ahold of a big refrigerator box and set up house in the back yard, complete with extension cord for the lamp and small tv set. Yes, you gotta love cardboard.
