Sweetest Note



I kind of stopped blogging for a while because my kids made fun of me. It is not that I think lots of people are reading my blog. It is not that I think I am a great writer or that people are interested in what I have to say. It is just a way for me to journal a few things in my life.

They suggested that I do an online journal instead. I have looked and looked for something and just can't find the right thing....so here I am again....sharing my private life on the web!

I got the sweetest note last Sunday in church. I have been waiting this long to blog about it because it is hard to describe the effect that it had on me. A little boy in our ward about 3 1/2 years old came walking up the aisle in Sacrament Meeting. He would stop and look at people as he went up and down. He was being very delibrate and thoughtful as he went. He stopped just to the side of me and looked me straight in the eyes with the most angelic look on his face. He reached out his little hand and gave me this note. It had such on impact on me. It was as if he knew I needed that note and he had made it just for me.

At the end of the meeting several of my Young Women came to talk to me about the note. They had watched him as he picked the people he would give them to. What a simple act of kindness and service. He gave out just 3 notes that day. I feel blessed to have received such a thoughtful gift.
