Random Act of Kindness

Tonight we were the recipients of an anonymus random act of kindness...of the Costco nature....and I must say it has really touched my heart. I was taking Sadie out of the tub when I heard the doorbell....so I didn't get it right away. A few minutes later I went downstairs and peeked out the door to see if someone had left anything. I could hardly believe what I saw!

It is hard for me to be on the receiving end of things, and I found myself feeling guilty that someone had been so kind. Then I realized...with the help of the Spirit, that I was being stupid. Heavenly Father uses many of us here to be his hands here on earth and bless the lives of others....and I am grateful for those opportunities and for the sweet people who listen to the promptings and take time out of their lives to think of our little family.
Seth will probably be upset with me for putting this all in writing, but I wanted to share our gratitude for our gift giver tonight, as well as for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Times are tough right now for a lot of people and I take comfort in knowing that I have a Heavenly Father who is mindful of me and my family.
Many thanks to whomever you are!!!!!...In family prayer Ella asked Heavenly Father to bless you for what you left us while we slept tonight...( not quite...but close enough!!)
