Excited for a Package

We sent each of our grandchildren a Berry Basket filled with sweets, and this was the reaction from a few of them, excited to receive a package from Grandpa and Grandma…a photo that made our day!

Our tradition, especially at Eastertime, is to give a spiritual gift along with a few treats, so included with the baskets, each family received the DVD He Knows My Name, a simple story portraying a little girl who meets Jesus and takes Him home to meet her family.

The baskets and tags were stamped and assembled by a friend and shipped to us. We filled them and shipped them back to each family…an unexpected cost indeed, but worth it when we received the photo of happy grandchildren!

We will all be thinking of you and Sterling as you observe the first holiday away from all your family and your home church. Happy Easter!

Hi Shelli, could you please make an announcement on a Tuesday Update in a personal video explaining too all your sales reps that all of the content they use in MDS can be used in MMS. There is so much panic on the message boards and I think this is really hurting your brand giving people only two months to make the adjustment. Most people don't seem to realize, and neither did I until I spent time with the MMS folks to learn that all the contents in the MDS components folder with digital papers, punches, stamps etc. can be directly copied into the MMS software program file directory and used directly inside their software. They are only selling it for $20 to everyone from SU and this includes a gift card to use on their website. They will also set anyone up with a free 30 day trial. I wished that you had made this information available when you made your announcement to discontinue MDS. It has caused so much panic and frustration unnecessarily. I'm assuming this post will be reviewed before it gets published so obviously don't publish it. This was just the only way I knew how to reach you directly.

Kathy- FYI, I don't review messages; they're automatically published. That's why I ask everyone to be kind and positive, which you are! In case someone at the home office doesn't see your comment, I would suggest calling DS first thing Monday and share your concern. Thanks!

Dearest Shelli,

Would it be possible to share the artist of the painting of Jesus' ascension that's on the wall behind the children in the first photo?

It is stunning!

Continued blessings in yours and Sterling's works.
