Man, this has been getting crazy!
Just about every day of the week lately, I've been shipping packages out to other steemians around the world. But... just about every day I stop in at the Post Office lately, there are packages for @papa-pepper there waiting for me from other steemians!!!
CHECK THE VIDEO!
DOUBLE WHAMMY!
I am so grateful to be able to be part of this generous and giving community! This time it was @goldmatters and @em3 blessing me and my family with gifts! I can't even begin to express how much this means to us. Here is just of sampling of what was inside these packages!
A crazy cool GOLDMONEY shirt to sport and represent! If you are not following @goldmatters, you really should be. The guy even gives away GOLD! Seriously!
@Em3 started off by sending me this incredible handmade gift to help celebrate me recently hitting a reputation of 77! This was the part that I was expecting, but a lot more showed up!
Some bitter melon, luffa gourd, and edible dogwood seeds were also sent! It'll be great to get to growing these! Along with them, a shark tooth was included for each of the @little-peppers!!!! How cool is that?
Some buttons and wheat pennies were also sent for each of the @little-peppers, along with some other interesting stuff!
BLESSINGS OF STEEMIT
This just goes to show how real and caring the actual people in our community are! Time and time again real encouragement, support, advice, and even gifts are exchanged between the community members! Besides this platform being one of the few places that people can actually make money online, interaction like this adds even more value!
I can't say it enough, but THANK YOU to all of you, steemians! Together, we make steemit what it is! So then, what are you going to make it?
#gratefulvibes
I'm posting this one in the #gratefulvibes tag as well to help promote this wonderful and potentially life-changing challenge. It was 40 days ago that @paradise-found began this incredible community challenge to encourage others to be grateful on a daily basis. So far this challenge has been having an amazing effect on those participating!
Even more amazing is that @paradise-found is donating half of the post payouts from his posts in the #gratefulvibes tag to WWH2H, a Christian Ministry in Honduras that includes a orphanage, a bi-lingual school, and a medical clinic. He has actually been there and knows the importance of their work, so he wants to also use his daily posts about the #gratefulvibes challenge to bless them! How cool is that? Check out the most recent #gratefulvibes post from @paradise-found by clicking here.
The #gratefulvibes challenge immediately comes to mind when I think about things like this. While I am not actually participating in the daily challenge, I do like to be able to promote it periodically by making a post in that tag! Keep up the amazing work @paradise-found!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
All those gifts are well deserved. They are not for show off but in appreciation of your contribution to the steemit community. Keep the flag flying sir. You are one of the people who daily assures newbies like me that we have a future in steemit community.
Well said @kingsolo
Thanks @kingsolo for the encouragement!
So happy that you enjoyed all the little gifts! Having your daughter serenading was really the best part of the video!!!!
Our best from the em3 family to yours!! Hopefully we will meet in real life before too long!!
Peace
I agree! Hopefully we can!
Oh man! I have been following you and your generosity. You are seriously pioneering a path for the rest of us to follow. Taking not, and feeling inspired! Thanks @papa-pepper !
Thanks @freedompoint!
Dude - obviously the Lord has directed your path!!
Bless the Most High!!
Amen to that!
I really enjoy the #gratefulvibes posts. It's been a great opportunity to reflect on what i've been grateful for during the day. @ironshield
It is such an amazing idea. He pitched the plan for it to me ahead of time, and I was amazed at the potential. Now we are seeing it play out! Awesome stuff!
@papa-pepper - how can I get the address to send you something? Maybe I can surprise you with something from Poland :)
I can get it to you on steemit.chat or discord.
Cool, I will send you a message on steemit.chat :)
and although no proof is needed, here IS proof of @papa-pepper awesomeness.

Thanks you so very much @papa-pepper for being the definition of AWESOME! you rock!
And I am very grateful for the gifts you have sent me.
That is so very cool!!
And nice having your dad on Steemit too!!
Peace
Yup. It is the coolest thing ever ;-)
Hey Hey! I better check that out!
Congrats on 77 @papa-pepper! Your mail bounty reminds me of the "early days" in the early 1990's when my husband @joechiappetta was a pioneer in the Independent Comics Movement. We would get all sorts of awesome zines, drawings and gifts in the mail from fans around the world. I still have some really nice art people sent. Steem is a new movement...enjoy the bounty and friendships! All the best!
Very cool! Thank you!
I know I feel blessed to be here, so many wonderful caring people!
And you are not the least of them! THanks!
Thank You for being just one of the welcoming people!
Grateful having you here in steemit sir.
Awww, thanks @gheghenrv!
Send me your mailing address on steemit.chat, will send you a Steem Christmas card.
Congrats on 77.
I got something you will like to see here.
I think this guy is a big fan of pepper
Must be a distant relative!
No... He is related to my friend kinda
Nice action!
Cast ye bread upon the waters. You are reaping what you have sown, no more. Pleasure to be in a community you share. And much thanks for telling us about the many who take the time , make the effort and care enough to show gratitude. Peace and Happiness.
very good friend initiative
@papa-pepper we need more good people like you
Thank you very much. You are cooperating with another. Such people are not seen anymore. You're really great. Do I know that we will ever benefit?
Perhaps we must send each other Christmas gifts...I know mine will reach you but not sure if your's will reach me at all, I am sure that there are too many thieves in our post office here in South Africa!
I tried before with the $2 bill, right? I have more, I could try again.
I honestly don't think it is worth it...not now over Christmas. You would not believe the theft here in South Africa. I never use the post office anymore because nothing ever gets delivered. Horrible crime in this country.
That is terribly sad!!!
It happens in the USA, but VERY rarely....so sad that it is such a problem for SA!!
Wow, @papa-pepper! It's Christmas all week at your house! What a great community to belong to. There are just so many generous folks helping to spread the blessings around.
That's just AWESOME! :) I want to see those Dogwoods as they come up!
Me too!
This is awesome!! So happy you received the shirt Papa P! I know you will have some adventures in it just like me. Happy to have you join #goldmoney T shirt tour! Guess ill be adding @papa-pepper to the celebrity list here: https://steemit.com/funny/@goldmatters/goldmoney-hat-celebrity-sightings

Hey @papa-pepper,
The hat comment made me laugh but you made a great choice choosing the @goldmatters t-shirt instead of the hat - the shirt looks great.
And all of those gifts and support are very well deserved! You exemplify what the Steemit community is all about.
Cheers!
Thanks man! I appreciate the encouragement!
You received some really cool gifts. And it seems a little pepper was excited about a birthday.
Presents can only mean one thing, right! Happy Birthday!
