A Thankful Gift

Birthdays. Not sure what to do with them when they become the most recent of MANY. But my offspring did a good thing, with a thankful gift that felt very, very good.

A Promise Basket and a Buzz of Bees through Heifer Project was great. Bees are clear, and a Promise Basket is targeted to subsistence farm families. The basket's geese, ducks and chickens lay eggs that provide nutrition, and the basket's rabbits multiply quickly, ensuring that other families will soon benefit from Heifer's requirement that recipients "Pass on the Gift" of their livestock's offspring. Eggs to sell mean a child can go to school. Passing on the gift of the offspring means the recipient gets "on the team" of blessing.

Heifer Project is a parable in itself. Google it. Learn about it. I believe that is the kind of learning that draws us into itself. Read. Learn. A gift materializes and several are blessed. Clear. Understood. All Good.
