OMG. . .In So Many Ways

Small Kindnesses

A text. A pot of soup. A seat on the porch. The truth is, most of us are stitched together by small kindnesses. They really do count. Kate Bowler

OMG. . .It's been awhile. . .about a month. . .to be exact

Easter. . .The glorious hallelujah. . .and it is. . .and it was.

Then life steps in. . .okay. . .enough of that celebration stuff. All will be well platitudes.

Move on down the road . You know that road, don't you? Reality. The good. The bad. The ugly. Life.

Didn't take long either. Need a new roof. New wood beams around front and back portals. Garage door opener. Decides not to open.

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . . Don't events come in threes?

Oops. . .there's a fourth. A lump on Lucy's leg. Ohhhh. . .I know what that means. But maybe not. . .perhaps just a bump from playing too hard. From crashing into the furniture.

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .Cancer.. .Lucy has cancer.

You know the feeling. When dread becomes real. Your worst fear is staring you in the face.

Cancer.

And that is where the small kindnesses show up. Cards. Phone calls. Texts. A complete dinner left by the gate. Hugs. More texts. Emails.

"How is Lucy doing? " How are you doing" "Yeah, I understand, they are your children." "A hole. In your heart. Yeah, I get it."

OMG. . .a reminder!

Small kindnesses. Make a difference. Not alone. Rememember that!

OMG. . .In So Many Ways. . .all will be well. . .in time!
