Little Acts of Love

I write this over a morning cup of coffee on a beautiful Saturday morning. The boys are up (as usual) and the girls are all still sleeping. This morning I'm amazed and almost overwhelmed by God's love for Terra and I as demonstrated through His people. A friend from church volunteered her daughter to babysit last night (Thank you Miss Brittany, the kids love you!) and some anonymous friend left us a gift card to Outback. Frankly, it was a long tiring week and the ability to get a date night and one that didn't cost us anything was exactly what we needed. We honestly didn't talk about Kaity or surgery much at all. We spent time just being together and decompressing. We had a really good time.

I don't want to blow it out of proportion but it really is the little things that mean so much right now. Another friend from church came over yesterday to help Terra catch up on the household chores. It's tough to keep up on laundry and the vacuuming when you spend two days in Denver. It was not only helpful to get the work done but Laura was a wonderful encouragement to Terra during her time here, what a blessing.

We've been the recipient of so many little acts of love we couldn't begin to name them all. Just know friends and family that we thank you for all you're doing to walk with us. Its been tough to really rest this week and last night was truly peace for our hearts and rest for our souls. I slept better last night than I have all week and awoke feeling refreshed.

It was right after the little act of love and service of the washing of His disciples feet when Jesus said in John 13, "This is how the world will know that you are my disciples, that you love one another." Thank you friends for your incredible display of love; what a witness to an unbelieving world. The little acts of love are powerful and mean much, thank you!
