Teacup Pincushion

This morning when I was reading Sherry's blog at Blessings From Our Nest, she was showing a photo of the wonderful things she had received in a swap. One of of the items was an adorable Teapot pin cushion. It made me think of how I was blessed some years ago. I was just getting into quilting and I had gone to a quilting group. They were going to do a pincushion swap at the meeting. I didn't know how to make a pincushion!!! So I decided not to participate, however when I got there a sweet lady had brought extra pincushions for anyone who didn't bring one. So they put a number on each pincushion and then we drew a number. So you got which ever pincushion that matched your number. I had spotted an adorable pincushion made from a real teacup. Since I collected tea cups I really wanted that one. So I prayed and asked God to let me have the teacup pincushion. I believe it's OK to ask God for even the little things. That doesn't mean I get everything I ask for, but I believe he wants that kind of relationship with us. Where we know we can come to him with everything, He is my Father and I am his daughter! Well I had the number 12, so as we counted down and each pincushion was being claimed I held my breath. When it came to my number, I looked at the teacup and there it was, the number 12!!!! So I keep the pincushion next to my sewing machine and every time I look at it, it's another reminder of how much God loves me, His daughter! And even better He loves each of you the same way!!!!
