My husband and father-in-law helped out a local resident we know recently by starting her car and checking it out to make sure it was okay.
The very next day we had a full bag of glorious homemade chocolate chip cookies (and a bag of M&Ms for egg-allergic Brady) and a beautiful card expressing thanks.
My goodness such gestures are absolutely wonderful and warm the heart (the cookies warm my belly!). I just wish there was more of that kind of gratitude in our world. In a small town, it seems more tangible gestures like that are made, maybe because there's so few of us far from the larger world.
I wish I showed gratitude more grandly and will work towards that.
In the meantime, I am loving those cookies! Warmed up 15 seconds in the microwave with a cup of soy milk. Mmmmmmm. Nothing better in the whole wide world.
