Letters to The God Box
Mom liked to keep her God Boxes handy—even if that meant crossing state lines! She kept boxes in Florida where she and Dad lived in the wintertime, but also in her bedroom in our Pennsylvania house where they stayed each summer.
Wendy Parsons of Jenkintown, PA sent in her story that takes ‘God Box geography’ to a new level. Here’s what she wrote.
“The gift of my God box is peace of mind. I actually have two God boxes — one at home in my kitchen and the other at work in my office. They cover the two main arenas of my life — family and career.
I keep my family God box in my kitchen because we spend so much time together there–cooking, eating, checking email, helping with homework and just catching up with each other.
I often put in prayers of thanks for the many little and big blessings of my life. We also put in special requests — if one of my daughters is having a struggle with a particular challenge at school, or if we need guidance on making a decision, we write a prayer asking for wisdom. I also include prayers for my friends who need help, assurances, or just the experience of extra love in their lives.
I have another God box at the office in which I place prayers for the success of my work, my colleagues’ work, and for the good outcome of any problems that arise. My God boxes are a way for me to have conversations with God and keep me connected with my divine guidance and bigger truths of my life. This has opened up the whole heart experience of feeling more gratitude and consolation. ”
Thanks for sharing, Wendy!
