Two Generous Hearts

Some time ago I commented on one of my posts that I loved the look of the white pumpkins I was seeing on many of your blogs but couldn't find any here. Oh I found two at Dollar Tree but they were both scraped and gouged and the spots were too big to hide. I thought nothing more about it. Saturday, to my surprise, I got a package in the mail from Lori at Mountain Woman at Heart. Lori and I have commented on each other's blog since I started posting in April. We've e-mailed and prayed for each other for various matters. Lori is one of those people who pays attention - she saw these pumpkins, remembered I wanted some, bought them and mailed them to me! How thoughtful is that? She included in her package this little notebook that is the perfect size to carry in my purse. She made the cover so when I use all the pages I can just replace the notepad. Lori, I thank you more than I can say, not just for the gifts but also for your thoughtfulness and your friendship.

Julie at Through the Barn Door decided to participate in a Pay It Forward exchange some time ago. The PIF exchange is an opportunity to spread a little good will to others you meet on your blog. She sent me this quilt on Friday as her part of this exchange. Julie calls herself a novice machine quilter but ya'll, she's no novice! Look at the detail in that quilting. Not only is the quilting wonderful but her color selection was perfect. I have two chairs in my living room that are almost this exact shade of green. I'm not sure how she did that since she's in California and I'm in Arkansas, but she did! Julie I will treasure this quilt as I treasure your generous heart.

From Lori in Illinois and Julie in California to me in Arkansas love shared is love spread. And love spread makes this a better world. Thank you.
