A GIFT

Here's a story from a time long long ago.....around hmmm, last year.
There is this lady at church, probably old enough to be a grandma, but not sure if she is one. I made a fool of myself, but she just overwhelmed me with a blessing that I couldn't help myself! One Wednesday night I was walking by the nursery door at church where she was serving, bless her heart, and she hollered at me to come over. So when I did, she reached out and handed me this doily thing. I opened it up and it was a crocheted doily her mother had made and it had our last name designed into it. Now, not knowing she had asked her mother to make SEVERAL for different ladies in our church, I was amazed that she would have done this for me. It was/is beautiful! I started bawling like a baby, but what she didn't understand was that Keith's mom had a doily just like it framed and hanging above the piano in their home. After both of his parents passed away, Keith's sister-in-law got the framed LIPFORD doily. I was okay with that b/c his brother is older and it was not too big of a deal, but I was still a little sad. Anyway, when I saw my friend's gift it just brought back a flood of memories and emotions and boy did the gates of my eyeballs open!!
I cannot tell you how much God blessed me through this. I hope my appreciation blessed Charlene right back. Isn't He funny to work in such little things. I hope to soon have a picture of this. I've not gotten the hang of putting that much work into this blog! :)
