The Perfect Military Spouse Care Package

I can't remember how many care packages my daughters and I lovingly packed for Chaplain Hubby during his deployment. Several, I'm sure! We missed him so much.

The question of the day at Wives of Faith today is, what would a military wife need in her care package?

These are the things I'd include:

• chocolate and lots of it
• a nice Bible in the translation of her choice (my current reading Bible is the New Living Translation, making familiar passages a bit more fresh to my heart)
• coffee
• patience
• a journal and a really good pen (I love gel pens for writing quickly)
• tissues (Kleenex or Puffs, take your pick)
• Coca-Cola (what can I say, ours is a Coke house)
• ice cream
• fun activities for the kids
• a library card
• a Netflix membership or a gift card to Blockbuster
• exercise
• freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies
• plenty of vitamins
• unlimited cell phone minutes and texting
• note cards from friends and family to be delivered via snail mail on a regular basis
• did I mention chocolate?
  
• a AAA membership!!!!!! <--added after reading another wife's list where she included the number of a good handyman! :)
