I wanted to take my little little shopping for food and supplies to take over to the Neighborhood Center. I wanted her to experience the entire process. Going shopping, her picking items out and putting them in the cart and insisting on carrying too many heavy items😊so cute. Next we were to drop all the goodies off…it didn't happen like I planned. I lost the car keys.. yep you can count on me for daily excitement.
Backup plan- had to get picked up, dropped off at home with the goods. How could I possibly ask a person for another favor to drop by the Center. I couldn't. Plan B. We can go to the Center tomorrow. As I unloaded the groceries, what did I come upon? Indeed, my keys. They had fallen inside one of the bags. I felt such comfort and anguish at the same time. I had spent an hour back tracking steps in the store, spending time with customer service folks to no avail.
Fast forward to the next day. We made a fun day trip to the Center. I had the best humbling time when she asked me if we could do this again. We asked about needs and made a plan . We are on a mission for cleaning supplies and snacks. I share this b/c I intended to teach her about others in need and instead she taught me about loving others that we have never met. She takes my waist and plants a big tight hug and "I love you" on me and I crumble in delight. She is my little little.
