Day 9: A "Gift from God"




I was going to take a picture of my mess that I made today....even Gary complained! Then I picked up my purse and I thought I have the picture for the day!! There is such a beautiful story behind this purse it was given to me by a newbie (Rose) in our store last Christmas. I was cutting fabric for her and remarked about her beautiful bag she told me she found it on ebay, nosey me asked how much she paid for it since I never have seen one like it, she told me the price....it was high dollar. Any way about a week later she came back into the store with her daughters and comes to me and hands me this purse I said "No...I can't accept this I know what you paid for this...she said yes it is for you.... it is a Gift From God" ....well ya'll know me I started my crying and hugged her and her daughters and thanked them. I love this purse and more I love what it represents!! I really need to do a layout on this treasure!

It amazes me how there is sooo many awesome Christians out there and that God has sent my way....I am sooo blessed!!!
I get sooo many comments about this purse and I share the story behind it and thought I would share with you.....I have been tempted to pass it along to another stranger that comments on it but I stop and I remember that day...that look in Rose's eyes and her daughters and I decide I will keep it.....and smile when I carry my "Gift From God!"

Wait till you hear the story behind "The Coat!"

I know it is more than one picture but I wanted to show you the detail on this purse!
