I am on the mend after nearly a full week of being sick. It is a rare thing for me- as we all know moms don’t have “sick leave” and I have been blessed with really good health. Thanks for the well wishes, people.<\/p>\n

So a couple days ago a good friend did something for me that really made my day, and even more than that, reminded me of how blessed I am. Just getting through the day on “lesser-capacity mode” I had yet to think of dinner. My sweet DH had been making meals all week while caring for me. A knock came at the door, and wow! Here was this friend with an armload of food (vegetarian food, nonetheless–yes, I’m a lacto-ovo vegetarian) and a smile. This woman drove 20 minutes in the snow to bring this food to me! I couldn’t believe it, but then again I could. Some people.<\/p>\n

Some people have many generous thoughts . . . and they follow through with them. I recently fell in love with this quote:<\/p>\n

“Never suppress a generous thought.”<\/span><\/p>\n

~Camilla Kimball, wife of Pres. Spencer W. Kimball<\/span><\/p>\n

So to this friend- thanks for reminding me of how beautiful service is. I often think I need to plan ahead, coordinate, make sure it is needed, cover the bases before I act on a generous thought. I needed the reminder that service doesn’t have to be so planned out. Your gesture made me want to jump up and do something nice for a bunch of people. It reminded me to call a neighbor who has been experiencing a difficult pregnancy. It reminded me to tell my children about how wonderful people are. You are some<\/em> person! Thank you.<\/p>\n
