When I arrived at one of the stores that shares flower donations, oh no......the flowers were not waiting for me.

When I called this morning, the store rep said they had 4 boxes. That is A LOT of flowers. But I am not the only one who picks up donations. Once in a while, we have a miscommunication - and today someone else picked up the bouquets.

I called a second store and they had 10 bouquets. I really wanted to take them to a place where they would do very flowery good work.

I passed two senior apartment buildings and met a few ladies who were caregivers. And found ten people - the 10 perfect people to give them to.

I looked at a card from a recent recipient -

Dear Patricia,
I want to thank you for the beautiful bouquets you gave us. It was nice of you fix them up and bring them. I heard that you bring them to shut-ins too. The flowers bring joy and happiness. I had the last bouquet for a week. You are doing God’s work bringing joy and beauty to all of us. Keep up the good work that you are doing to make others happy. Love and Prayers, Eleanor

The note meant a lot. The smiles mean a lot. I am grateful to the stores that donate flowers. I really don't have to worry about where to take them - the flowers "know" exactly where to go! 300 of them this week!
