I went next door and let the mom and the children know that something silly happened. An elf left a gift for them at my place and made a mistake thinking it was their place. They liked the gifts the elf left for them, Chick-fil-a gift card and sour gummy bears. I learned something new today. Did you know you have to be good and behave the whole year or the elf and Santa can't bring gifts to you. Who Knew???
Seriously now, I remember being divorced and people were kind to my children and a mother does not forget those acts of kindness. Continue to bless others even if you have to stretch the truth a little to adapt it to what a child can comprehend. Do you remember when people were kind to you, your family and especially your children? I do beleive a mother is born with a tender heart, I truly beleive that. Many years ago I saw a neighbor at the grocery store and she was buying snacks for their family vacation. I saw that look on her face. If you never experienced this yourself then you may not relate to what I am sharing. It is the look that you are in line to check out and you are counting up what you have in the cart to make sure you have enough money to pay for it. Holy Spirit prompted me right there in line @ Giant Eagle to turn around and bless her with paying for the snacks. How could I not when I knew what that feeling felt like myself? If you tune your ears into Holy Spirit frequency He will direct your path, He always does if you listen.
I share these stories not to brag but they are true examples in my life to encourage you to reach out to others. If you look you will find there are opportunities far greater then not looking at all.
