it’s the little things that count
January 13, 2009
Lots of wonderful little things happened to me this past week.
- A friend drove four hours round-trip to spend the day with me. She reminded me I still know how to laugh.
- Another friend made me a mixed cd of beautiful songs that my heart needed to hear. Her daughters picked out the bright flowery mailing envelope that made me smile.
- Friend #3 mailed me a check to kick start my Wii fund. Talk about a surprise!
- I received a knit wrap that Friend #4 handcrafted just for me, with prayers on my behalf woven into every stitch. It feels like a hug.
- I got to hear the voice of my beloved on-the-other-side-of-the-ocean friend. That did wonders for my heart.
- A friend bought a webcam just so I could see her. We celebrated with a webcam sleepover.
Yeah. Lots of little things.
And not a single one is little to me!

Love that you have a Wii fund…Katie and I were trying to “talk” Marc or Dave into buying one….we agreed to buy a game for it…like American Idols (with mics)…or Family FUN night….Seriously…we need at least 1 Wii on the property…I have had WAY too much fun with these things lately…..
it’s those little things that make the biggest impact.
and it’s pretty easy to see that you are loved, my friend.
Beautiful!
Wow – what incredible friends you have! I would certainly call these BIG blessings! :)

I love being reminded I have an easy funny bone.
I thought maybe that’s what Friend #4 was doing, but I wasn’t entirely sure. I am so glad. So, so glad.
I agree with Theresa- Glad you’re being so loved from all sorts of different directions (even across the big pond)
Love you.

It’s great that God does things like that to remind us we are not forgotten.

The community of support that God has raised up for you BLOWS MY MIND! And I am blessed by His goodness toward you!
