I get a call from my friend Rebecca. She is asking me how I am doing. Knowing that this has been a pretty trying time for me and that I have been a bit in the dumps. As we were talking I was just being really honest in how it's been tough and how I am struggling. At that time the door bell rang and I said "Hold on Rebecca, someone is at my door and I have to hop over and see who it is". Well it was Rebecca (and her son Eli) who brought me flowers, a bag of peanut m&m's, and a clear afternoon to take me grocery shopping. Really? Does this really happen? How unbelievably sacrificial. She spent the entire afternoon pushing me around the store (with the most positive attitude) and not complaining once (even when she could hardly move the cart).
Towards the end my girlfriend Jamie also met us and pushed another cart and helped with checkout as we were rushing to get the kids on time from school. Two great friends, taking time out of their days to love on me with an amazing act of service. I am unbelievably grateful....words can not express how I feel.
Eli was such a trooper. He didn't even complain when he sat in the kid seat. I'm glad we grabbed Andrew's phone so he was able to play games. And he played it the entire time :-)
