At church yesterday I was thinking how special it would be, how memorable, to be asked to bring up the bread and wine on Caleb’s birthday…and OMG…we were asked!
There was a couple sitting a few rows in front of us with a baby. We had to pass right by them when we brought the gifts up to the altar. After church I went up to the woman holding the baby and introduced myself. I explained that my husband’s and my first grandchild had been born today and that he lives far away and that my arms ache to hold a baby…she was so kind. She then simply gave me her baby to hold for awhile ~
Blessed be the kindness of strangers.
