Unexpected Blessings in the Midst of Stressful Days

 

The past 10 days have brought a number of unexpected blessings in the midst of a lot of stress at work.  

First up from my secret prayer sister from church was this selection of FQ's, chocolates, and an ornament which I didn't get a picture of.
From the ladies ministry group at church came this wonderful package as an encouragement after a rough year.   In it was some moose munch, hot chocolate, a mug, hand soap, cookies, a candle and a gift card for Walmart.
From my quilting friend Edi came a wonderful package filled with lots of goodies.   First up was a stocking and tree skirt panel featuring holly and cardinals.   Perfect to make up for a friend who loves cardinals.   And fabric and pattern to make a cute stuffed giraffe and needle minder.
A cute snail pin cushion, a totally cute snail fabric that I didn't have in my stash and new scissors.
And finally in the package were a crocheted wash cloth, a darling gnome, a tea towel, a sweet little wall-hanging that is hanging by my sewing machine, and  santa ornament.

Not pictured are the two gift cards from Panera and Joann's (can you say, someone knows me well?) that I also received from an anonymous friend.

Gratitudes:

1. For unexpected blessings

2. For the knowledge that God will provide for my needs as I navigate being laid off and finding another job.

  2. What wonderful reminders that God is thinking of you, and through God, your friend's hands are comforting you. I know this has been a stressful time, but we mentioned this morning that joy doesn't depend on circumstances. =)
