“A Text from Mr. Virgo”

Awwwww….look what I found on Mr. Virgo’s phone! I love when these little messages come to me. Like this summer when I was cleaning out what we called the dump station. It’s a little wooden charging station where we’d park the phones when we got home and little bits of this and that would end up there. I found a little sticky note wishing me Happy Valentine’s Day so I stuck it up on the fridge to remind me of a sweet, gentle man who loved me more than anything in the world. The gift that keeps on giving!

I was thinking about Christmas this week and remembering how much Mr. Virgo liked to plan and hunt and buy just the perfect gifts for me. He was very generous and lavished me with beautiful things that he had heard me mention over the course of the year and I fully realize how much he spoiled me rotten. I’ll be darned if I didn’t feel myself getting a little sad that my stocking will be pretty empty this year. Man, that didn’t last long! At church today we discussed the blessings we have in life and I realized hoping for material goods isn’t anywhere near as wonderful as hoping for the Spirit of Christmas to fill me with a generous, loving heart. I truly have everything I could possibly need and then some. I don’t need a thing…but, if you wanted to send me to Belize in January or February, I wouldn’t object. Just sayin’.
