Jana - She called this morning and asked if I needed anything at Costco since she was headed that way. Maybe some freezer bags for the chicken order I was getting?
Wendy - happened to be at my home when I was going to put a turkey in the oven. I realized I didn't have any turkey bags, so she ran home and got her turkey roaster for me to borrow.
Nicole - my kids took off from me on the way home from school. My kids are on bike, I am on foot pushing a stroller carrying 50+ pounds. Nicole patiently waited with my children in front of my house while I ran in hopes to keep up.
Valerie - picked up my 80 pound chicken order so i didn't have to wait in the car for 2 hours with three boys.
Spencer - played with Gavin while I bagged 80 pounds of chicken. Yuck. Raw meat is so gross!
I know I am missing so many little acts of service that transpired throughout the day. It is those little acts that make the world a better place. I did a few small acts myself, and I am going to list a few of them. Because I want to completely loose all blessing received from doing those acts. No, just because I want to show how small things really do make a difference.
A boy got his shoe strings caught around his petal on his bike and was thrown off. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, but I helped him untangle his shoe lace and get back on his bike.
I watched two children for two different ladies. Hopefully they enjoyed the break and were able to be renewed. And if not, maybe they accomplished something that would have been a little harder with a child in tow.
I walked the 5-yr-old neighbor girl to school. Made sure she got there safely. And I hugged her, along with my children, and wished her a good day. She came over after school and played.
I didn't do much else, other that cook and clean and all that normal everyday stuff.
I really do believe it is the small acts of service that can make life a little easier for those around us. And in so doing, making things a little brighter for us in return.
