The UPS man rang my doorbell just now and handed me a box from Antropologie. I was confused, because I hadn't ordered anything.
Today, this is a picture of grace:
An unexpected gift from a darling friend. Out of the blue. Unsought. Beyond my wildest expectations. Undeserved. Given in love at another's expense. Received with joy. With tears. With humility. With thanks.
Grace.
That is so cute and happy! But beyond that, knowing someone was thinking of you & acted on those thoughts to give you a surprise gift - how precious!

A timely gift, word or card is one of the Lord's way of hugging us. I believe this.

It looks perfect on you!!!
"From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked." Luke 12:48 NIV
Thanks for being such an encouraging example for me and never giving up no matter what is demanded from you.
I love you much!
