the unopened gift page 2 by ric gustafson.
Jeffrey looked at the small card that was on the box. " The gift is addressed to you".
" I don't have time to open it " Monica replied as she walked downstairs with her suitcases in tow. " Please put it in the closet for now".
He put the red box in the bedroom closet and then walked outside to wait for the cab.
The yellow cab came and Jeffrey handed the suitcases to the driver.
" I'm going over to church to help with meals on wheels" he said as opened the passenger door. " They could use a great voice like yours in the choir".
" We'll see" she replied as she kissed her husband and the cab left.
Two months later
Jeffrey yawned as he pulled out the vacuum and bumped into the red box. He decided to clean the house a little before his wife came home. He was tired from spending several hours at church putting bulletins together.
Monica came home and made a fabulous dinner for them.
" Dinner was fabulous" Jeffrey said with a smile as he dried dishes that night. " You could help with Wednesday night meals".
" I like to cook for you" was the reply as she yawned. " I'm tired and I'm going to bed".
" Monica, would you like to open that red gift that is in the closet?".
" Not right now" she said as she yawned and walked toward the bedroom. " Please leave it in the closet".
Jeffrey did not ask her any longer.
Peace and God's blessings. Love Ric
