In I Thessalonians 5:18 it says to "give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” Lately, I've been having a hard time being thankful. So many times it is so much easier to dwell on the difficulties surrounding us than the gifts that the Lord is continually blessing us with! I was reminded of this these past two weeks when two people very sweetly sent me some gifts. I wrote about one in an earlier blog entry and the other I just received yesterday. A dear friend found some wonderful crafting goodies at a garage sale and picked them up from me, including a rotary cutter, which sells for approx $60 on e-bay (she picked it up for $10!) I have some pictures below, but I just wanted to say thank you to those that have thought of me. It was such a blessing to me and it once again helped remind me of how good the Lord truly is to me.
Look at this! I feel like my birthday came a week early this year!
Is this not the cutest ever?!?! It's adorable :)
And she didn't even know how much I enjoy looking at crafting magazines. I always look and put back because they can get expensive, but now I have 5 magazines with lots of great crafting ideas :)
eeek... I just saw a stink bug (my apartment complex is infested with them right now... can anyone saw ewwww??) crawl across my lunch plate! (Thankfully I was already done eating off of it!
Some beautiful papers and a Thomas Kinkade kit
Some punches!
and stamps!
and buttons, ribbons, and some little org. containers!
and now for the big one....
a rotary paper trimmer!
with 4 extra blades
Thank you Anita for thinking of me.... and thank you Lord for your never ending goodness to me!
Now you have to find a place for everything! =)
