So, the other day we discovered that our lovely neighbor,
Barbara was turning 88!
Yes, 88 years old!
So, what do you do for an 88 year old?
We did what anyone else would do....picked up pizza and
ordered a cake from the local bakery!
In my desire to keep things more simple, I even opted out of
making a salad, much to my husband's delight! :)
So, as we clambored up Barbara's driveway with five kids in tow and my parents, we decided to
sing to her as we walked in.
So, a bit off tune, we sang loudly, and Barbara, a quite
sophisticated and composed 88 year old, genuinely shared with us that this
might have been her best birthday party yet.
Seriously?!
We couldn't believe she was so delighted in this small
gesture to celebrate her...but I guess that's the point.
It's the little things that can really matter!
A little idea! Then a little follow through - and
voila! It happens! And then, this huge blessing
happens...for all that are there! It's like the blessings multiply!
Truly, it was the best thing ever to bring so much joy to
her!
So, with your man or your kiddos, or a friend or stranger
alike....it's those little things, that can really bless others and you may or
may not even know it! :)
