Sweet Thoughtfulness

What a blessing it is to have sweet friends and family. ♥
I would like to share how I've been a recipient of  'sweet thoughtfulness' recently.
My mom gave me these jars of yummy strawberry rhubarb jam that she made.
She actually gave me another jar too, but it's in my refrigerator right now.
This is my most favorite jam! 
 

She also crocheted this dish cloth for me,
 but we both agreed that it was too pretty to use for
washing dishes, so I found a great spot for it in our living room.
 She's always doing nice things for me. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful mom.♥ :-)

One of my friends came to me and said she was going to start selling Pampered Chef. She told me that she wanted to have a party and give me the merchandise credit that the hostess receives. I thought that was so thoughtful of her! These are the things I chose.

I have wanted one of these quick stir pitchers for a long time, but could never bring myself to spend the money on it. It is so nice to have! It works great for the orange juice.

I also chose a silicone oven mitt, a meat chopper, and a big draining scoop. I have been enjoying all of them very much!
The last thing I chose was the cool and serve tray.  There are two green inserts that you freeze and then put in the bottom of the tray to keep the food cooler. I haven't used it yet, but I'm sure it will be great too!

One of the girls in my Sunday School class gave this little note to me a few weeks ago. It just made my day. I have it tacked up on the bulletin board next to my computer. This little girl's dad died a few years ago and her mom has not been seen fit to care for her, so she's living with her aunt right now. She's already been through a lot in her short lifetime. She is a precious girl.

God keeps me humble though. The next Sunday, another girl in my class let me know that she thought I was having a bad hair day. LOL! Kids...they keep life interesting! 

I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers. ~Philemon 1:4

Take care and I hope you all have a great week.
