The Humble Basket

Just like an apron is to some homemakers, a basket is to me. I love that they are so practical and add that homely feel. I have a few baskets around my house that I use for different purposes, I use them when I'm transporting food or craft projects out and about, I have mending in another, books and notecards in the one in the photo above and even my 5 year old has a couple for her bits and pieces. They are timeless really. 

One morning when I was reading my Bible (still yet to come up with a blog name), I read how Jesus multiplied the fish and loaves of bread to feed the multitudes. Baskets were used to carry the food and I suddenly found myself thinking about the use of this practical item, used back then and still used today. Jesus took what was in the basket and multiplied it. I guess in the same way, I want to use what's in my basket to be a blessing, whether it's craft, baked items or a note of encouragement. Hence the name 'The Humble Basket'.
