You Know Who You Are

Thank you! Thank you so much! How thoughtful of you. Really. From the bottom of my heart I want to express how much this thoughtful surprise meant to me. Like deja `vu-- my thoughts immediately went to this day.

So what am I talking about?

Well, I opened my front door to go and run some errands and there was a big, red ice-chest sitting on our porch. Inside was dinner fixings-- a frozen lasagna, garlic bread, salad fixings-- and I haven't even got to the bottom yet. :)

What a huge blessing.

You don't know what an impact you made on me-- yet again.

So....

my errand running included stopping by a bible bookstore to pick up a long overdue thank-you gift for someone who I have not adequately told just how much I appreciate them.

Thank you for the reminder---

random acts of kindness go a very long way.

If anyone is inspired to go out and do some random act of kindness-- please share. I'd love to hear about it. You can't even begin to imagine what a blessing you will be to that person.

I promise.

Wow, I just caught up on the last few posts. It sure sounds like you have been busy. School starts here on Wed Sept 1st. Oksana will be going to a new school too as we just finished moving from Saskatchewan to Alberta. She's a little nervous about making friends. I am not that familiar with California though I have driven through a few times. Where you talked about moving sounds like it would be a long drive for the kids to go to the snow every year. We are hoping you all have a great and wonderful move and that it doesn't take long for your home to sell, that the kids all adjust quickly into their new schools. Keep in mind if you would like to spend some time in the snow that you're welcome to come up here. :)We'd love having you.
Love all the posts!

Wow. That is awesome! Kind people rock!

Someone did that to me once, made dinner for our family. It was out of the blue, and so appreciated.

I'm so pleased to read this! I read the title and thought "Oh no, another hurtful anonymous comment on her blog, why do peaople do these things?" And then I read it and I'm thanking God for the people who go out of their way to touch your life in this way.

Food for your family isn't a small thing I'm sure, but isn't it amazing how even quite tiny acts of kindness go such a long way towards restoring faith in human nature and a benevolent God?
