Last night a good friend stopped by with dinner and dessert expressing her concern and love for our family. I didn't know she was coming and I had just been wonderring what I was going to make for dinner? What a relief it was to have a break from making dinner.
Just before dinner tonight another friend came over with a chocolate bar and a beautiful potted valentines wreath. With tears in her eyes she hugged me and told me that she was my friend and would be available if I needed her. She didn't know I had been daydreaming about chocolate and toffee for the past few weeks. Heavenly Father Knew. And she was listening. I feel invisible a lot of the time and was really touched that she wanted to help me.
A few minutes later the doorbell rang and it was the husband of yet another friend of mine with a full meal in hand. To Grant's delight he even included Valentine M&M cookies!! He and his wife had a busy and full day yet still managed to put together a wonderful meal for us.
I am speechless!
What a blessing it is to recieve a little kindness when life gets hard. And to have a few friends around who love you.
Thank you to all who made these past few days a little brighter for me and my family.
