My friend told me a great story...Her grandmother helped to make quilts for charity for her church. When she packed up all the boxes of quilts she found one that was really ugly. She took it apart and added different fabrics to help make it a prettier quilt. Very soon afterwards, she and her husband went on a mission to a foreign country. They arrived safely, but everything they owned had been lost. Their church quickly came to their aid and sent boxes to replace their lost possessions. When they opened the box, on the very top, there lay the quilt that she had taken apart and made more beautiful. From that experience as a recipient of someone's gift, she decided she would always make and send her very best.
