My red blessing

Last week I was given a garbage bag full of very nice clothes. Most were like new, one item had the price tag still on it. All of these clothes were too big for me. I wanted to try to find someone who I thought could use them. In the meantime, I set them aside. A few days later someone on Freecycle asked for large size clothing. I offered her this bag of clothes. She was so appreciative and left me a hand written thank you note and a small decorative pumpkin when she came and picked up the clothes. She and I continued to communicate through email. I then told her that I also had three coats that were too big for me and that she could also have them if she was interested. She told me that since I had been so generous to her, she wanted to do something for me. She said she had a closet full of clothes size 4 to 14 that no longer fit her, and wanted to know what I might need. Well, since I was giving away my beautiful long winter coats, I no longer had one. I asked if she had a long winter coat that I could wear to church. I delivered the coats I had to her and picked up this gorgeous red wool coat in return! I just love it! It's my blessing in red!
