An Unexpected Gift!

Hello sweet ladies,

There are so many tomatoes on our bushes. I was waiting for them to ripen and this week I have to get them picked or they are going to freeze........I did....last night and now........

I am a bit under the weather. It really made my allergies kick in being out in the garden! Have that groggy feeling in my head. Anyway last night after I got the tomatoes picked.....I knew that I just couldn't get the rest of them. I called my friend's Rosa and Marian. They are two unclaimed blessings and my sweet sweet friends. I told them they could come and glean from my 40 plants.  Their tomatoes did not fair well at all....so today they came. I got to see Rosa when I got home.....that was a treat! We don't get to visit like we used to before I started at the college. So we visited and then she had to go. It was a treasured visit. I miss getting to see them. Our girls had brought in this bag.

When I came into the kitchen it was on the counter. I just love surprises......always have......it doesn't have to be expensive at all just a surprise. 

It said,

"Something for you. Thanks for the tomatoes.

Love,

RY (Rosa Yoder)

I opened it up and found a bag of dried Apple Mint Tea leaves and fresh shelled pecans. What a sweet and thoughtful gift. The girls and I will save.......everything....... until the holidays. 

I knew exactly what we were going to use the pecans for......... our favorite CHRISTmas Apple Fresh Cake (Recipe). We make it every year as gifts. Easy and so so delicious. 

Today a very special thing happened in the caf. I am thinking about how to share it with. I will write about it over the weekend. 

I put this up on fb today, some of you may not have read. God is in the detail of my life! I can trust HIM!

"Just a little note......as you know we have been praying for the school and different students that the Lord puts on our hearts. I have one person that I have really asked the Lord to move. God was glorified and the angels are a singing!!!!! I can tell you that it was totally amazing. To be a part of this young person wanting to live right was precious to see. I shared a little story about my Daddy...God used it! Yahoo! I am a little excited! Can you tell! Thank you Jesus that you use me even when I would rather be HOME. YOU are the one that is faithful. My heart is so full ladies. Hugs and please pray for protection for my sweet family as we share the gospel. The enemy doesn't like it, me"

Hope your day is special....

Hugs, 

Linda
