Bread and A Bowl

Though to you this photo might seem  unworthy of a post...but to me this mean katie is listening, watching and growing up. She is thinking of loving people with simple beautiful things.  You see her friend, Daisy, came over to play on Friday.  (It's a huge treat to pick up a friend from the classroom and bring her home to play, I mean huge treat. Its always a highlight of the week!) Katie shared cookies and Daisy brought some bread to share with K and O.

I think what makes it so special to me, so warms my heart, is Katie's desire to make the simple bread and cookies special by serving it in a "fancy" bowl and plate.  She thought that their snack time should be  fun and deserved more then paper plates. She wanted to make this memorable and bless her friend by making it beautiful!  It encourages me that in this small act she loves well. 

So my challenge to myself and you is to try and make a simple act more special. Serve your kids dessert (ex. Apple crisp) for breakfast. Get out the fancy cups and put in chocolate milk. Light the candles at dinner time. Do a bubble bath instead of a rinse off.  It may not always be noticed, but love never fail. Take the time to try to make someone feel loved, by making simple things more beautiful.
