Given 2

Since my Given is so long, and since we're starting the 2nd year of this journey, I'm starting a Given 2. If you haven't seen it, go read my update from May to October. My feed reader wasn't picking up the post, so I figure that is happening to others too. I certainly hope that we are in a different place come next October, but I will continue to keep my list so that I can read this on days when I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel.

My neighbor is an older single man. His kids are grown. He still shops at Costco because it's cheaper. He brings up the 'extras' and we are blessed by his continuous stream of generosity. This week, he's brought us 2# of butter and 1# of coffee beans.

Sunday afternoon, a friend from church came by with $280 in cash. She just said, "It's not from me." She was just the messenger.

Last night, a friend dropped by with a decorative pumpkin that says, "Give Thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." I'm enjoying that with my fall decor. She also brought me a knitting book, Shibori Knits. It's been awhile since I've felted anything...I'm excited to start a new project.
