When I don't deserve it.

A couple days ago, I got home and saw an unexpected package on my front step.  Knowing I hadn't ordered anything recently, I was excited to run inside and open it, and once I did, I was floored. 

You guys, I've been a craptastic friend lately.  The past few months of my life I almost feel like I've been in a daze of some sort, and have had a major case of feeling sorry for myself.  Really craving and praying for friends, but not being a friend myself.  You know that old saying, "to have a friend, you have to be a friend" has proven true!

Even after having this awful attitude, a sweet girl (who has moved away) went way above and beyond and sent a package for my boys.  She thought of everything -- the feelings of excitement and change that are coming for our family, and even sent some money for Cohen to take me for a special treat on Jaxon's first day of school.



As much as I appreciated it, this simple act of thoughtfulness really inspired me.

To be more thoughtful.  To give more and be selfless.  To reach out and make someone else's day.  To give 100% to relationships, even when I feel like I'm the only one trying.

Thank you, Andrea, for being a true friend to me... even when I don't deserve it.

Have a happy Friday friends!  We have company coming for the weekend, and I am hosting a Women's movie night at the barn (on our church property)!  Should be fun... what are you up to?
