Do you ever stop to reflect on the little blessings in your life? The tiny activities we just don't really think about.
Today I was blessed with spending time with the Shellnutt Family. I got to help them with their chores, get them ready and off to basketball tryouts, and enjoy a wonderful lunch made my "Betty Crocker". Then as the afternoon went on I was asked to paint Miss Isabel's finger nails, and she in turn got to paint mine. By the way she did a wonderful job, I feel like my fingers are full of magic... they are so brightly colored! I enjoyed some fun times helping "Betty Crocker" figure out facebook and bring her back to the 21st century. A very simple day but such a huge blessing. I didn't spend any money, had some great quality time with some of God's great people, at the end of the day I have no regrets. I love being able to invest into their lives and get the same in return. Isabel was so excited and felt so privilaged to do the simplest thing as painting my nails. Then she wanted me to do her hair. It was like having a little sister, it was such a blessing to bless her with that quality time.
And I enjoyed the company of the boys too! They are so full of life and don't have a worry... oh how I wish my life was free of worry at times. If that was true then I doubt those sweet moments of little blessings wouldn't be so exciting. It's great to take time out of my CRAZY schedule and focus on doing something for someone else for once.
