Random act of kindness.
It is well-known that I love to take care of my niece and nephew. I mean LOVE it. And, to toot my own horn, I'm really good at it. Well, most of the time.
Last time I was there, the first night, we lost the dog, Lucy. Who is 14 and deaf. Long story short, she got out while we were unloading the car and went on an adventure in the neighborhood (and it was a faith growing moment. I could see the kids were getting more and more upset and I stopped and said, "Let's pray." And we did. And their countenance was much better and when we found her, they said, "God answered our prayers!" He sure did!)
And then I fell down their stairs the last day. Thought I broke my arm, but I didn't - it was just sprained.
I was telling all of this to my friend Stacey (who I've known since 2007/8 and we meet up monthly for girl's night out) when we were catching up last month.
A little bit later, she said, "I know you love to babysit your niece and nephew, but would you be willing to babysit other people's kids?"
I mean, if they were your kids, yes.
So, we planned the weekend that she needed me. It was such an honor that she would let me do this. I have a feeling I'm going to be the one blessed.
