Christmas Gift Jigsaw Puzzle
This Advent season I spent two weeks putting together a jigsaw puzzle in the shape of a firetruck for my grandson Bryce. He is almost two years old, and loves firetrucks. I guess part of his fascination is the fact that they live right next to a fire station. The second thing is that his daddy is a volunteer fireman, and more at this fire house. So would I be misleading in saying that it runs in the family. Who knows. But I do know that whatever Bryce does, he will do it passionately and in a caring way.
I am so excited to see what Bryce will do when he sees it on Christmas Day. He already has a jigsaw puzzle of a water hole with lots of animals in his bedroom. It gave me great joy as I was working on this puzzle these past two weeks, knowing it was for this very special little boy. It did have my wondering if I had lost a piece or two because it was not the traditional puzzle in a rectangle shape but in the shape of the fire truck. The ironic thing is that I couldn’t make it on the puzzle table because I am stuck on a puzzle that is taking me forever to finish. So I put it on the dining room table. But I finally completed the fire truck, with no pieces missing. Thank you, God.
