Gratitude

I am blessed with daughter who knows compassion.

I wrote about it yesterday.

But 3 or more time in the course of 24 hours, she has reminded me to do good things, to help other people, to treat friends like strangers.

Simple things that show her heart and mind are in the right place.

Trying on a pair of pants and, realizing they are too small, announcing that we need to give them to someone who needs them.

Seeing someone loading their vehicle and demanding that Mommy offer to help put all those bags in that car.

And the coins in the Salvation Army kettle.

I am blessed.

  1. That is wonderful to see... I volunteer and do other things for people pretty frequently and my boys don't seem to be catching on as much as I would like them to. Great job and congrats!!!

  3. I have no doubt, she is a reflection of her mom. °Ü°
