Power of Friends!

Sometimes little things you do mean so much. Saying something nice to someone, helping a stranger or any other little things you do on a daily basis that you may think is nothing, might just make a person's day. Showing you care goes a long way. Let me explain.

This past week has been very very stressful for me & still is. Our kids came back to school last Wednesday & with getting ready for Madyson's birthday, I have been struggling to stay afloat. I am trying to do my job & train the new counselor as well as every other thing that comes up - sometimes I wonder what would happen to that school if I was not there. Of course, all of that gets put in its place when tragedy strikes. On the first day of school, one of our students was killed jumping from her car on the way to school. She would have been a junior this year. I would have been her counselor for a 3rd year this year. Unfortunatley, I didn't get to know this special girl.

Today, another typical hectic day, started off bad. The girls & I were running late, I put Lexi straight from her crib to the carseat - pj's and all. Started putting the girls in the car to leave & realized that Drew had the base to the carseat that I had Lexi in - so had to change it. Probably worst of all, in all the rush I forgot my pump, and all of you moms who ever breast fed can understand how horrible that is!! At school it didnt get better, it was one thing on top of another. And then my phone rang (I actually got to answer it!) On the other end of the phone was a voice I hadn't heard in a long time, Michele Townsend. The principal at St. Aloysius. She had heard about our student that had passed and was calling just to tell me she was thinking about me & praying for me. I don't think she could have ever known how great her timing was & how much I needed to hear that. I was stressed to the max & that simple thought made my day. I don't think Michele reads my blog, but if anyone see's her in the next couple of days, please let her know how much that little phone call meant.

I say all that to say, you never know when kind words or a simple phone call can make such a huge impact. Next time you think about doing something & don't because you think it may be silly - do it any way. You never know who is watching! God is always working!!
