No Donations Today — Donna Hopkins

I have a dear friend who is like a sister to me. Her parents treat me like a daughter and remind me what abundant love feels like. They surprised me with a gift today, a pocket money pouch, with some “fun” money and a few handmade items from the Ma (a woven potholder) and the Pa (an oven stick to pull or push hot items from the oven).

I remind myself that it is okay to accept these gifts. That I am worthy of this loving kindness. And that my strength lies not only in giving but also receiving.
