Blessings

I was over at Country Roads reading a great post about the Lord's unique way of blessing us, and I was suddenly reminded that I had not told you the wonderful thing God did for me on Saturday!

Miss Pear woke up from her nap saying "Car, car, car, shoes, shoes, shoes, keys, keys, keys, hat, hat, hat," over and over and over. Being the intuitive parents we are we realized she wanted to go for a car ride, which was great because I had an item on hold at my local quilting store (a stencil cutter!) that was the last item to use up all my Christmas money.

We arrived at the store only to discover it was QUILT RUN DAY!!!!! I had no idea! So I was immediately given a free, beautiful fat quarter, and a ticket with a number. If the number matched a bag, the bag was mine to take home. I politely said thank you and did not think much of it because I never win anything! But my number matched a bag, so I was gifted with another beautiful fat quarter, and a delightful book called Treasured Wrappings: Gift Packages to Give and Give Again. I am very interested in this type of wrapping, so I was delighted!

We continued to happily browse through the store. The ladies are so good about letting Miss Pear look around and touch the fabric (knowing that her little hands are clean, of course!) and always remember us. So it was delightful. When I went to pay for my stencil cutter, I found out it was on sale because of the quilt run!

So it was definitely a bunch of blessings from God!

And then we went out for ice cream....yum.
