Do you know many folks who just do things, big and small, for other folks without expecting any thanks or repayment? We are blessed to know lots of folks like that and we think that's the way the world should be. It always just amazes me that other folks would do something for me, though.
After church today, our Ben brought me a small brown bag from one of the ladies at church. Now, we were a little late to church today and I didn't even get to speak to this lady, but still she sent this little bag my way.
How did she know I would be excited about its contents? I hadn't seen her in a week and she doesn't know about my blog. (Can you guess what was in the bag? That's a hint.)
The McCreedys are always doing things, big and small, for other folks. They take older people all the way to Hattiesburg for doctor's appointments. They visit sick people and sad people. When I had shoulder surgery 2 years ago, they brought us delicious chili one evening. Even though there were 2 men in my house that could turn on the stove. That's just the kind of people they are. They are retired and I'll bet not a day goes by that they don't do something for somebody else. If somebody followed them around taking notes, I bet she/he couldn't keep up with them...
So, thanks to the McCreedys for not one, but TWO LARGE cans of Underwood Deviled Ham. (How they knew: Mrs. M was behind me in line at Dollar General last Sunday after church when I was searching - unsuccessfully - for this canned item in preparation for Gustav; I bought ice cream instead.) These 2 cans are safely tucked away and I'm the only one who knows where they are! hehehe)
P.S. Totally unrelated to this post is the fact that tomorrow, 09/08/08 is Ben's last day to be 20; he turns 21 Tuesday. Our baby boy has grown up.
