Proverbs 3:3-4 "let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. "
There's no words to describe how I feel about this box. Inside is pure joy and gratitude disguised as cupcakes. A neighbor brought them to us to thank my 2 older girls. A neighbor we wave at but don't chat with on a regular basis. A neighbor who honestly I can't remember her name. But somehow that doesn't stop my kids from being neighborly.
You see her grandson began living with her and began riding the same bus. The first day he got on #2 let him get in front of her in line making herself last. AND SHE NEVER LIKES TO BE LAST! She said she saw neighbor boy at school and waves to him.
Neighbor grandma just wanted to thank the girls for watching out for her grandson. Apparently they make sure he gets on and off the bus. They include him on their ride home. The substitute bus driver even commented to the grandma how wonderful these girls were to him and would eventually be great babysitters.
Now if we are counting that's 2 compliments! Are tears welling up? Is your heart swelling with pride? It is for this mamma!
What a great moment for us.
You have those moments days weeks seasons when you wander if anything you do is sinking in to their hearts and heads. In fact that morning all those two did was fight and pick at each other. But for this fleeting moment they have something they can share. A moment of unselfishness. A moment that changed a child. A moment that brought tears to a mom's eyes. And a moment that brought a grateful grandma to bring neighbors she doesn't know very well some Christmas cupcakes.
Luke 2:19 " But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart."
