Friendship, Blogs and Blankets

My sweet friend Tammy, at Garden Glimpses, sent me a wonderful surprise in the mail. 

 A few weeks prior she asked me what my *favorite colours* were. A rather strange question I thought, but I gladly said, "Cobalt blue and black."  A short time later, a large parcel arrived in the mailbox!

When I opened that box, let me just tell you tears of joy ran free.  Enclosed was a love note from dear Tammy, saying she just wanted to do something for our adoption.  How blessed we are to have such a wonderful, kind and generous friend. She was such a huge supporter of our last adoption to Ethiopia too...the girl has the gift of encouragement down something serious!

 Who would ever think that blogging could lead to such beautiful and real relationships. 

We read the long love letter, honestly both my Knight and I were crying.  Tammy told us we could sell the gift at our fund-raiser, if we wanted. 

I couldn't part with such a gift from the heart.  A gift that surely was stitched with much love and prayer.  The first gift sent for her.  Sent from a precious blogging friend. 

We quickly put it on her new bed...as you can see we are lovers of blankets.  Each of my children has their special ones that they sleep with (see if you can spy the stacks on the lower bunk).  Our Ethiopian Princess didn't have any yet.  I had looked, but couldn't find anything that seemed right.  Why?  Well, because God put it on Tammy's heart to make one;  piece by piece with love.

Can't wait to have her crawl into bed with it.  Thank you Tammy, we love it and we love you too!
