On March 27, 1999 Sam Butcher was in Miami, Florida at the Christmas
Shoppe. The store was having a contest called "Design Your Own Precious Moments
Figurine", and they were giving away the Century Circle piece "In God's
Beautiful Garden of Love."
Well I didn't have that piece and I REALLY wanted it,
plus the store was going to give all the drawings to Sam at the end of the event, so I
wanted to make them really special just for him.
I entered 6 drawings and one of mine won!! I was
SO excited taking that special picture with him. When they gave him the drawing, he
told me he thought it was beautiful, and that he was going to make it for me! I
couldn't believe it! You can imagine I was on cloud 9!
Winning Entry!
You know I had Never met him before, but I read so much
about how devoted to God he was, and I just couldn't wait to meet him. I was NOT
disappointed. He is absolutely one of the kindest, sweetest persons I have ever met.
He truly demonstrates God's love. He has forever a special place in my heart!
Oh, and by the way, I'll tell you when I do get the piece!!
Sam, Elena, and Owner of the Christmas Shoppe

how I wish there is something like that here in the Philippines. I'm dying to see the shops of PM in U.S.

I think that is so cool you won and got a chance to meet him. He should have a contest like that more often.
