slice of kindness.

my girls are getting so big. which means their sicklies and colds get bigger with them. i really despise seeing them feeling so miserable. wiggly with body aches. bright pink with high fevers. sweaty bed head after nap {even though mixed with their sleepy groggies, it's pretty stinkin' cute, if i do say so}.

jessa was so disappointed to miss her little friend's birthday party this morning. all her friends gathered downstairs to make pizzas and color their own aprons while she lay sick in bed. my heart broke right next to hers as i was telling her it's ok to be sad and that being sick never comes at the right time. this is the birthday boy {picture taken a few weeks ago} and what he did after his party was the sweetest thing...

...they brought jessa some slices of pizza he had made at his own party with two pieces of BIG, blue birthday cake. jess told me, "that was so sweet of rana, mommy." it's so encouraging when her five year old friends can teach her love and kindness at just the right time. the Lord has blessed her, and all of us, with such amazing people to build us up when we're down. to walk along side of us when we feel broken. to help carry our burden when it feels too heavy.

whether five or ninety-five, goodness is found in sharing a slice of pizza or a piece of cake. now that, you can take to the bank!
