A Lovely Remembrance of Nebraska!

A gift for Belinda
Belinda's collection
At the Parsonage Connection brunch meeting this past Saturday morning in Lincoln, Nebraska, Belinda was presented with this lovely pitcher.

On behalf of the group, Mary Ellen Kilmer presented a lovely pitcher that was crafted by LeRoy E. Von Glan of Norfolk, Nebraska. (More information about him can be found at http://www.burkholderproject.com/lvonglam.htm.)

The pitcher has a biblical connection. It is based on the one that Rebekah used when she drew water out of the well in Genesis 24. Abraham sent his oldest servant to find a wife for Isaac, if she were willing to go with him. He saw Rebekah who offered to water his camels and agreed to go with him. The pitcher has a handle that is taller than the mouth so one can tie a rope around it. It is lowered into the well, lies down and water is drawn up.

It is a product from Nebraska, and it will serve as a special remembrance from the Nebraska Parsonage Connection family. It will join the other pitchers Belinda has enjoyed collecting during her travels around the world.

Praise be to God from whom ALL blessings FLOW...
 
Praise be to God for loving folks who love one another through...
Amen!!!
