A Mystery Bag

I can't honestly say I hate Mondays. My wife doesn't have to work so I usually get to enjoy the morning with her, sometimes with a great breakfast. However, on this particular Monday morning she was in an organizing mood, so I went into a work a bit earlier (I'm smarter than you think :) ).

I walked into my office to find a bag full of items on my desk. Not knowing who it was for or from, I placed the items on Jeremy's desk. He informed me that it wasn't his so I decided to take a look through the stuff. It turns out it was a wedding gift. There were several items with notes attached. Here's what I found:

Coffee: "For staying up as late as it takes to 'not let the sun set on your
anger"

A Mirror: "For figuring out who should apologize first."

Lemonade: "When life gives you lemons... Ministry brings many challenges to marriage. Instead of letting yourself resent ministry, work through the problems openly & always praise God for taking you both out of darkness & calling you to serve Him

A Mask: "Nicole, culture says submission is weakness. It may seem so, but actually submission is power in disguise. Respecting our husbands empowers us to glorify Christ.

A Frame: "Picture what you want your family to be, & don't do anything that interferes with that picture. Opportunities will arise."

A Nightgown: "Nothing says 'not tonight, honey' like a polka dot moo moo"

An Unmentionable: "For the other six nights a week"

I have good friends. Now to figure out who left the bag...
