The Nicest Person in the World
I have to publicly thank my amazing friend Kacey, who just did the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long while. Kacey just came from Florida with her two babies (19 mos. and 4 mos.) She had to fly here by herself and I'm sure she was so excited to finally have her family to help give her a much needed break. But, she, in an act of selfless service that I'm not sure I would ever be capable of, decided to leave her kids with her Mom on Friday night and come over to my house to stay with MY kids so that me and my husband could go on a date for the first time in I can't remember when. It was wonderful! I'm just so floored by how much she was willing to go out of her way (she called me and set the whole thing up), and give up her precious alone time, and stay up way too late, just for me. She could tell that I was struggling when I went out with her and my other girlfriends the night before. And she saw my need, and didn't hesitate. What an amazing person! Her one act of service taught me so much about friendship and service, and that I need to inconvenience myself a little more in order to help others. Kacey, when you read this, I want you to know that I think you have a heart of gold. You are such an example to me. It just came so naturally to you to offer help. I hope I can become more like that, where service just comes so naturally that I don't even have to think twice about it. Thank you, Kace, I love you. If there's ever anything I can do for anyone reading this, please ask me. Sometimes I just think I am so maxed out with my 3 kids and piles of laundry, but I really do WANT to serve in any way I can.

I'm so happy for you, it's the best feeling in the world to have help come when we most need it. I'm so glad you have that kind of friend. I always feel like I can't return the kinds of service that are given to me, but our time will come, there's a time and season for everything.
