I got to work this morning to find this little brown paper bag sitting on my desk. May is our "promodizer" from the Trinoma branch of Anson's-- she is such a sweetheart and has always tried to push herself to reach further and further. Worthless is hardly the word to describe her present. She does not know how much this means to me. The time she had set aside to ask herself, "What would Ina like?"-- to set aside her sea of worries and responsibilities and think of me is already enough. I remember sharing how much God had changed my life in the past year-- the fact that she remembered this bit of information really warms my heart. The color is perfect too.. Second on my favorite colors list. Her little inspiring note too is perfect, for I love writing letters and cards but have never really gotten any of late. Don't lose faith in the seeds you sow, for one day they will bear fruit.
Most important of all, is that I know these little trinkets were not easy for her to give-- raising her little girl born sometime this year. Much like the Widow's Mite-- Luke 21:4 "This poor widow cast in more than they all: for all these did of their superfluity cast in unto the gifts; but she of her want did cast in all the living that she had."
Now I am sure, that I am exactly where I should be. Thank you, May.
