Spreading Little Bits of Sweetness
After arriving home from picking in the strawberry fields yet once again this morning, the girls fixed up a little tin pail of strawberries for an elderly shut-in couple.
We visited. Charlotte demonstrated her ballet steps. Photographs of sons and daughters-in-law were passed around to admire. Big hugs wrapped us in warm, old clasps as we were leaving.
You start out to spread goodness but come away smothered in a double dose of sweetness. The blessing boomerangs....I hope my daughters caught it!

Your girls are so sweet and you are really teaching them good life lessons.
How beautiful. I can't wait for strawberry season - next month for us.
That is so wonderful to be teaching your daughters to share of themselves. That is one of the best gifts you can give them.
And it really is more blessed to give than to receive.
Blessings.
