I received a package in the mail from my parents yesterday. It contained 11 cans of Stagg chili in several different varieties and three bags of dried California apricots. Dried apricots from California are different from the Mediterranean variety in both texture and flavor. I think they are richer and just taste better, but the stores here only carry the Mediterranean ones. Stagg chili is, in my opinion, the absolute best canned chili available. It's just good stuff! And it's also not available for purchase out here, so it is, like the California apricots, a taste of home. It also proves that my dad knows me and knows what I like. I knew when I opened it exactly whose idea it was to send it, no question about it. Thank you, Daddy!
It served as a good and timely reminder to me that my heavenly Father knows me and gives me what I need. His gifts are special and suit me perfectly. Right now, when the one thing I would really like to get for Christmas is something intangible, that reminder brings me great comfort.

You mean you cannot get Stagg Chilli in New York? But you can get it in any supermarket in the UK.
Hey, I managed to post a comment! Has Beta improved?
But this is my parents' computer. The comments page does not even open up on my computer.
awwe, that's really sweet. I am glad you got a taste of home, after all!
I'm glad that you were finally able to post a comment, Matt! I was having problems posting comments on my blog, too!
Haha, that's funny it's available in UK but not in NY. :) That was quite thoughtful of your dad. :)
