🧶 Another baby blanket crocheted for a yet unknown recipient 🥰


We were eating in local restaurant this afternoon & got to meet the twins I had crocheted baby blankets for the owners’ newborns 11 months ago. They were having a family meal there with the twins who are now 11 months old & very adorable :))

Their mommy told me they are still using the blankets 😊

Healing With Love & Care.

For the last week I have been looking after my husband's aunt as she has undergone a surgery. Her children live abroad and my husband is traveling so there is really no one who can spend time with her. I have been cooking for her and generally trying to keep her spirits high.

John And Carolyn Share Their Home, Kindness And Love

They invited a few of us evacuees to their apartment and he read a few of his poems that he had written over the years. we had homemade cookies and punch for treats as we listened. it was a great couple of hours and we kind of forgot our issues of not being at home. wonderful memories were made. :)

Things At Work Have ...

Things at work have been very challenging lately for myself and my coworkers. I wanted my team to start their week with a smile, so I picked up some chocolate and inspiring quotes and will leave them on each desk Monday morning, to start the week off right.

❤️ I Love Our Neighbors

I was asked for some small help by two of our neighbors….one asked if I’d water their newly seeded lawn once a day while they were both at work (it needs to be watered 3 times a day for now). Another asked if I’d take their mail in while they were going to be away for a few days.

Told them I’d be happy to 😊

They think I am doing them a favor, but they too are doing me a favor by asking for my help. It makes me happy to be asked & makes me feel “useful” 😍

Love my longtime, kind neighbors. Feel blessed 🙏

Serving Meals To People At An Old Age Home

Yesterday my wife and her friends as part of inner wheel club went to an old age home and served fresh hot lunch ( sponsored by a family who honored the memory of their dad). This morning she recounted the stories of the old people she met and they were very moving.

Birthday cake

It feels so good to be able to give. And we are so much more blessed to give than those who receive from us.

I have a friend who lives in Nigeria. A mother of four beautiful girls who I met online. We chat often. Have never met. But she is a fellow sister in Christ of mine.

A year ago I made the decision to give to her whenever I can. She never once asked for money but wept when I offered to buy her children a cake every year for their birthday.

This is such an extravagant treat for them. A cake. Something which my boys receive yearly.

She sent me this photo of her daughter with the cake. And get this ... she took the cake to her daughter's school and church group so she could share with others who are underprivileged.

He’s All Kinds Of Amazing!

❤️ Kindness Received....

We were having a problem with our landline phone & called our contractor in the morning to ask if he could come over to see if he could help. He said he’d stop by.

He hadn’t shown up by 5 PM so we figured he had been too busy to fit us in and figured we’d call him the next morning to follow up.

Well to our surprise, our bell rang at 7:30 PM, and guess who…yes, our contractor. He said he’d had a very busy day & totally forgot he’d told us he’d come by and remembered after he’d had his dinner. He lives a few blocks from us, so drove over.

He fixed our problem & refused to let us pay him!! He’s a wonderful craftsman, takes pride in his work, has a great sense of humor & a hard worker. We thanked him profusely & plan on sending him a gift certificate to a local top-notch restaurant 👌🏻

🤗 He left with a big hug from me.

He's all kinds of Amszing!!

Spoilt Myself With Some Musical

Spoilt myself with some love and took myself on the weekend to see the musical Wicked for the very first time. Loved it. Was incredible.

Whilst there saw a few opportunities for kindness and took advantage.

Helped a beautiful couple in their 80's (who like myself) were confused and unsure whether the show was finished or it were an interval found venue stuff to tell us. It was an interval. Funny moment as we both nearly went home.

Second opportunity was seeing some young girls setting up a camera with timer taking photos. Walked over to them and asked if they wanted me to take photos for them. They were very grateful.

I hope your weekend has been blessed 💕

Paying Attention To Dog 🐕

I bought 2 biscuit packets. My target is to give them to black Dog which became thin and it comes infront of our shop daily. I saw the black Dog. I went towards it. It moved away. It reached a place where there are two other Dogs. I opened one biscuit packet infront of them. The other two dogs started eating biscuits. But this black dog is just looking. After sometime I found black Dog alone. I opened another biscuit packet. It is not believing. It is afraid to eat biscuits. I moved. It smelled and ate biscuits.

Turkey Trio For Homeless Person

I noticed a homeless man sitting outside my local grocery store. I asked him what I could get him to eat, and he smiled and asked me for a turkey sandwich. I went inside and got him a Turkey sandwich, and picked up a drink and some chips too. When I brought it out to him, I told him he can’t just have a turkey sandwich, he needs the trio! He laughed and smiled. I have seen him again since, and I always buy him his turkey trio. His name is Daniel, and he has a beautiful smile. 😊
