The Unexpected Gift

Gifts are wonderful. We love to give gifts. It is sometimes hard to receive them. We are taught is it better to give than receive. People will say,"Oh no, don't get me a gift."  We always want to give to those close to us, family members, best friends. Sometimes, we give to those we see on the street corners who hold out their hands and plead.

But, I'm here to tell you that an unexpected gift can be the best. The story of the hat in the picture is clearly told on the layout itself.  Chelle was shopping for others. She could not buy for herself at this time of year. She has triplets, you know. There are lots of gifts to buy and to make.

While shopping, she came upon a hat. Oh, what a pretty hat. She needed a hat. She looked at it for quite a while, but moved on.

Later, she received that hat with a card explaining that a friend of hers had seen her looking longingly at the hat and bought it for her.  The unexpected  gift was the perfect pick me up. And oh, can you tell how very pretty she is with that hat?

Thank you, whoever you are, for buying this for our lovely daughter. She appreciates it and so do we.
