Tea Cup & Mug Exchange

When we sow bountifully and bless others

we will also reap bountifully

in this life of  friendships.

Every good and perfect gift is from above,

may we rejoice in the goodness

of the greatest Gift-Giver of all

and in the gifts of friendship

we have been given.

~Mrs. Harris

For the first time, I participated in Stephanie's annual

 Tea Cup and Mug Exchange this year. 

It was a great deal of fun, and I was 

blessed with a new friendship with a sister in Christ.

****

Stephanie pairs the participants up, and we each send some

goodies to one person, and receive some goodies from

a different person. In the process, you make two 

new friends and have the opportunity 

of blessing someone with a package full of love.

****

I had the joy and pleasure of sending some lovely 

gifts along with a tea cup to Abigail.

For me, it was really special to watch God work 

everything out with this exchange. 

****

 Before I received the name of who I was sending to,

I was out shopping, and I stumbled across

an Israeli cookbook. I took it just in case

the girl I was going to send to liked to cook.

****

When I looked at my email later, I was pleasantly surprised to 

find out that Abigail loves everything I do, including

dark chocolate, and she even mentioned that Israel 

has a special place in her heart. 

****

I'm thrilled God brought 

us together using Stephanie and this lovely exchange.

Here's what I packaged for Abigail.

Salinn blessed me with these lovely things, 

and I have already enjoyed the pink lemonade. (I'm saving the hot cocoa 

for those cold winter days. :) Thank you Salinn! 

I want to give Stephanie a huge thank you for 

hosting this exchange. I had the most enjoyable time, and I 

look forward to doing it again in March or April.
