Oh my goodness was I ever surprised today. Received a package from Amazon. I never shop at Amazon unless I cannot find the item somewhere else.
I opened the small box. No paperwork. Just this beautiful coffee mug with a bluebird. The words... It Is Well With My Soul is a beautiful hymn I listen to occasionally. It really touches my heart.
So, I planned to post this here to ask if anyone might know where this surprise came from. Then, I thought of a friend. She is a huge Prime Amazon shopper. I texted her. And I was correct. She had it shipped from about 600 miles away. I cannot tell you how excited I am right now.
Some things have been going on I will not discuss here but she knows all of it. And the amazing part is she had no idea I also love this song. Just perfect. And the timing was perfect as well. I just saw a bluebird in Dustin's garden.
Life truly is about the little things everyone. Savor the moments. I know I am.
Also, I provided a link to one of my favorite versions of this song. It is performed acapella, with no music. So beautiful.

@Marilynda1225 It was one of those moments that don't come along often. Thank you so much. It is washed and I will use it in the morning.

I do my best to focus on the good things and not allow the negative circumstances to drag me down.

Will you be using that mug now or just keep it in the show case?

Sometimes, the smallest, most incidental things happen at the perfect moment and have such a huge impact on us. I love the mug!

@CarolDM You sure do! It’s one of the things I like about you. You get it. It’s the small things that mean the most.

@moffittjc After life has thrown you down a few times and left you there, you tend to learn so you don't get back to that point.
