Always a work in progress

Monday I received a package full of thank-you notes from my nieces, sister, and BIL. The note from my 8-year-old niece was in its own envelope, and when I opened it, this fell out:



It arrived on the very day that I most needed the reminder. I'm often short on patience, so a visual reminder I can wear daily is a good thing.

That is such a sweet gift! And it's pretty, too! I'm sure you'll think of your niece when you wear it.

I love it when that happens, when the message I need to hear comes at just the right moment, whether it's the pastor's sermon or a song on the radio, or even a gift like the bracelet from your niece :)

That is really nice! And it fits you well, looks like.

That is so cool! I would need a lot of bracelets: patience, hope, don't complain, faith . . .
