Since today is my birthday...what better way to post on A Creative Heart than to show you the gorgeous gift from a dear sweet friend (and adoptive daughter in the LORD) Pam at Good News From A Far Country.
Now the pkg above is another gift she sent..and notice the command!
NOW BE GOOD....DON'T OPEN UNTIL YOUR BIRTHDAY!
And I was...I opened this today. My first packaged gift to open. And what a wonderful surprise! A QUILTERS CALCULATOR! If any of you quilt..you will surely appreciate the value of the gift...all the math and figures you need to make a quilt all at one's hand NOT mind! Boy do I need this!
THANK YOU PAM! HUGS to you!
The QUILT is the other gift..of LOVE. If you have read her blog, you saw this posted once. She was making this for HERSELF...and sacrificially sent it to ME. I feel so humbled. What a beautiful treasure...for the sacrifice and the loving hands that made this. She is sooo talented. Isn't it just gorgeous! I commented too many times I think on how much "I" admired it.
From the depths of my heart, Pam...THANK YOU!
Starting out the day with these lovely Birthday Wishes have filled my heart with so much Thanksgiving.
Loving notes in each one...I am so blessed.
I also received several "singing telegrams" this morning..via telephone! What a joy to hear my grand children's voices singing..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...NANA!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ...NANA
HAPPY BIRTHDAY...WE LOVE YOU!!!
One year I missed a call from my other grandchildren and saved the recording FOUR years! I was heartbroken when it was accidentally erased. I loved just hearing their sweet young voices. Now they have grown with more mature voices. Those toddler sounds don't last long enough. But, I'll take their voices any day! The soothing comfort of familiar voices even from afar.
So...today as I've added another year to my life...
I am grateful for the friends and family that God has so graciously bestowed upon this life of mine.
And...YOU my friends here. Thank you for making my days enjoyable and the encouraging comments and fun sharing times...even with our pets!
Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
(I'll be on a short break with my daughter and grandchildren visiting for a week!
See you again soon!)

Happy Birthday Hope!
What special treasures you received on your special day ... the quilt is just beautiful and how wonderful to hear the voices of your grandchildren singing to you!
We have some old *cassette tapes* of our 3 children at various toddler ages and they are precious to listen to ... I'm trying to figure out how I can save them in some other format before they get either lost or ruined!!
Blessings and have a lovely week with your daughter :o)
