• A Christmas Story

  Okay...Here's my Christmas story. You just never know how spirit will work through you, but when your in the flow of your life the things that happen just have you shaking your head with joy. I know short story long, eh Lyne? hahaha
  I went to my 8th annual cookie exchange party and ran into an friend who is traveling up to see her grandbaby. 3 months old now. I told her I had a baby quilt that I'd love to pass on as I got it at a fundraiser and was so happy to have "won" it... in the silent auction. Now the side story is that I was working the fundraiser as it was held at the winery and not very many people showed up as they had hoped. So I asked both my employer and the fundraisers if I could bid. They both said yes. I walked around and put down bids on items that had no bids. I won a necklace, a hand made quilted purse and the baby blanket. I got home and told Gary about them and he looked sort of sideways at me and asked, "who is having a baby?" I sort of stopped in my tracks as I couldn't answer the question yet I was thrilled to get the quilt. I put it to the back of the closet to wait for the answer.
  Flash forward. I had forgotten if the quilt I won was for a boy or girl, so when I get home I see that it is for a baby girl. I open it up and it is perfect for this child. Even the design connects with her name and the bright colors will appeal to the artist mommy. Here's the punch line. I called Val to tell her that the blanket was amazingly perfect in sooo many ways for this new addition to their family and I asked when the baby was actually born. She gave me the date and I flip open my calendar and it is the same date as I was working the fundraiser.
  Merry Christmas and may the flow of life amaze you more and more and more.
