more generosity

Over the past three weeks we've again experienced love and generosity from so many people!  Besides all the meals, treats, lunch dates, play dates, etc. here are some pictures of some of the other gifts of generosity that have shown up at our house lately.  We're amazed every time someone shows such love to us.  We are so incredibly blessed by the people we love.


This was a delicious surpise treat from my friend Sharon that I taught with in Georgia.  It came at the perfect time when we had lots of visitors to share the yummy fruit with.  She is the sweetest!  She was a mentor to me while I was there and is a good friend to me.  I don't think she intended to be a mentor to me, but I asked her questions and advice all the time so she had no choice :)  Having people that you trust at work with you is awesome.  For them to be good Christian friends on top of that is priceless.  Thank you Sharon.


I love this orange tea kettle from my friend Shoba and her husband, Greg, and their sweet little girl (whose name sounds a lot like mine).  A tea kettle is something I have always wanted but never bought for myself, and now is the perfect time.  Tea is one of the only beverages that taste good to me besides water right now so this will be put to very good use!  They sent the cutest strawberry diffuser with it too.  Thanks guys.

Our friend Judy sent these beautiful flowers Wednesday, along with a beautiful verse

"He is with you....."  Phil 4:13

They sit on our mantle right now so I'll be able to see them while I'm laying on the couch this week - they will be a bright spot in my day!  Thank you Judy.


And these beauties came from my parents this week.  They sit on the kitchen table so I see them and their orange wonderfulness every morning.  Thank you Mom and Dad.

And this was part of a goodie bag for chemo visits from Nyla and Kim.  I'm so excited to look at this magazine and get some new recipes, because my friend, Erin, loves this magazine and she's awesome in the kitchen.  In that goodie bag was also stashed some Hershey bars (which I already ate of course), a cute pink breast cancer beanie baby and a massage gift certificate.  There may have been more but I can't remember everything.  I'll blame it on the chemo brain :)  Thanks so much girls!
