endings vs beginnings...

yesterday

was life interrupted~

a friend's knock beckoned me to my door..

she'd been informed

her son is dying-

2300 kms away...

how could i help to get her there?

 thoughts of completing

class assignments

and Valentine Party shopping

and returning movies on time

took the back seat

while prayers,
online travel searches and phonecalls

filled them instead.

amazing answers to prayer

created beautiful orchestration

of arrangements

and provision.

surprise pieces of the puzzle

appeared

and

were placed where needed.

so much goodness.

kindness.

gratitude.

and when that was done

i had some surprises

of my own waiting...

Patty's Grand Opening Giveaway 

delightful prize package

in my mailbox !

THANK YOU PATTY!

i love everything ~

including your cherry tablecloth photo background!!

totally apropos before you even knew the winner ")

verrry cool!

i had responded to Patty's request

for a fave scripture on her

N2 God new store opening blog post

and her gift arrived yesterday!

would  you say that's perfect timing?

wonderful!

Patty's a bloggerette sorority sister

with a heart of faith

which she's sharing through her new store venture.

i've been so pleased to meet her

and support her entirely in this new direction!

then...

at the very end of yesterday-

after 2 hours of shopping

for contents for a Valentine Raffle Basket

and TOTALLY exhausted

i collapsed into my chair

to do a final email check.

what to my

amazement did i discover?

writer Becky Povich
{and FHC Friend on the Journey}

had announced me

as the winner of her

'name my book' giveaway!

not that she's necessarily using the titles i'd suggested,

you know how it works ")

none the less

it was a delicious treat

to a woman with sore feet!
THANK YOU BECKY!

 here are Becky's FaB FuN winnings on their way to me -

we never know it's ending

in light of its beginning ~

peace to yours today...
