Unexpected Gifts

Answered prayers are unexpected blessings.  This Sunday was just about that.

Recent realizations about family have been a cause of worry for me these past few days.  I've lost some sleep over it.  I've prayed hard about it.  But, Sunday lunch was a testament of God's answer to my prayers.  It is far from resolved.  But, we will get there eventually.  A lot of good came from patience, understanding, compassion and humility.

A visit to my in-laws also proved to be a blessing, too.  I've been meaning to purchase a new phone, to replace my 3 year-old one.  But, we've been gifted with a very good unit.   I believe my savings will remain just as it is.  

I wasn't expecting this and it feels great to be on the receiving end once in a while.

If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
