Just Because

And let us consider how we may spur one another on
toward love and good deeds.  
Hebrews 10:24

I had a surprise at my door yesterday.  My friend, who lives on an island, sent her husband to deliver a gift to me.  It's not my birthday, she sent it "just because".   It was packaged beautifully and contained the most wonderful handmade gift I could ever receive from her.  It was unique, one of a kind, she had made it just for me, and it came straight from her heart.  It is something I'll always treasure.

Have you ever given a "just because" gift?  I received a package in the mail from Australia and it contained the most beautiful handmade tag and card from my dear sweet online friend Linda.  She also included another surprise which she knew I'd love.  Look at the card, how the little tag says "just because".  What makes this so interesting is that she re-cycled the bird sticker that was on a package I sent her.  Linda makes THE most beautiful cards - you can visit her blog here: Lovely Linda's Craft Central

"Just Because" gifts from Linda
Handmade gifts are always special because they come from the heart.  Do you have a friend you could do a little something special for "just because"?  Perhaps a hand written note instead of an email, flowers from your garden, a handmade bookmark.
