Our preacher has quite a collection of Christian coffee mugs.
My son wanted to buy our preacher agift. It was his birthday. He picked out a coffee mug. I bought the mug, and I took it home and gift wrapped it for my son. He took it to the rectory to give it to the preacher. he came home crying. He said he wanted to get the preacher something special, but the preacher had a bunch of mugs just like that one. A few days later, my son got a thank you card from the preacher. He said he has acquired quite a collection of Christian coffee mugs over the years. He said that even though he has a lot of mugs, and even though some are the same as others, he still thinks that each one is special, and he knows which mug came from which special person in his congregation. My son felt much better after reading the note.
