Surprise!

     That is what I got when I arrived home after cardiac rehab on Wednesday. A box from the company that sells the tote bags I have been using for my comfort quilt packages. When I opened it, all 13 bags left in their inventory were in the box. Hooray! They generously donated them to me!


     Even funnier, is that the company is in the neighboring town from me. What are the odds? They are in an industrial park and I had no idea they were there or what they did.  I sent them a thank you card already. If you don't ask, you won't know if someone will help you.
     Prayer answered!

I'm so happy they sent the bags to you. They probably realized in the end that even if you weren't a company that at least you wanted the bags and they needed to move them out of their warehouse.

What a refreshingly lovely thing to happen! I'm so pleased for you, and for the company.

I am really very happy for you Linda. It is wonderful that the company sent you something that means so much to you. I am sure you will fill them up with lots of surprises for a special person.

Amen....what a great joy to see things come together. So glad you got the bags to fill your need. It's just great!

It is so great when we learn of a company that does something simply because it is the right or kind thing to do -- we ran into a situation recently where a company went above and beyond to make something happen to meet a time-sensitive need. Hooray for those folks! And how grand for you to have the bags to use for your comfort quilts.

What a lovely surprise! I'm so happy that they realized that you could and would use the bags for a charitable purpose - even though you aren't a "company" - ;))

Yipee! Those bags will give you time to find a new supplier (hopefully).
