I have always admired people with artistic skills. I was omitted when God distributed artistic and musical talents. I am a member of an online Christian CLL group where other patients with leukemia support and encourage one another. One member posts photographs of her beautiful creations. I have always commented on her work.
Today I received a package in the mail from Maine. Pat (member of the CLL Christian Friends online group) had thought of me and assembled a lovely assortment of craft and sewing supplies. She thought of everything -- instructions, supplies, and a beautiful tapestry container with all of her gifts. I am inspired.
I marveled at the generosity of a virtual stranger. The world would be a better place if neighbors still baked and shared cakes with their neighbors and if strangers were generous like my online crafting mentor. Pat is waiting to see one of my creations, so I have an extra measure of motivation to create something worthy of her gift of supplies.
Today's challenge: Do a random act of kindness or generosity for a stranger this week.
