Sweet!

Rhoslyn was giving mom kisses the other day and told me that her heart was bursting because she just loved me so much and loved giving me kisses.

She can be such a sweetheart.

Humble and Kind

As I heard Tim McGraw's "Humble and Kind" song this morning it reminding me of two Saturday's ago when my family and I were sitting at Mcdonalds for Breakfast before going house hunting.

There was a man laying his head on the table with a black garbage bag at his side.  Rhoslyn asked why he was laying his head down.  My response "I don't think he has a home and he probably wanted to come into a place where it's nice and warm so he can rest a little bit."

As we were eating our breakfast a dad walked into Mcdonalds and started heading towards our direction when he saw the man and told his kids, "Nope, we aren't going this way" and headed back towards the front.  It saddened me that someone could be so arrogant.  Haven't you ever been in a tough place?  Maybe my husband and I are sensitive to this because he has lost his job and we have had to somehow make ends me with very little pay from unemployment more then once.  We don't know the hurt and sorrow of living homeless, but we have been in tough places before... just like so many others.

We didn't know his story.  We didn't know why he was homeless, but we did know that we wanted to buy him breakfast and leave some extra cash in his meal bag.  We wanted to make sure that he got at least one warm meal that day and enough money to cover two more meals.  

When we left, I turned to the man and told him to have a nice day and smiled at him.  I left with a tear in my eye.  We talked to the kids about how we bought him breakfast and gave him some extra cash because for some reason, he doesn't have a home to live in.  We live in a small town and we do not see homeless people in our area.  However, we want our kids to grow up to be "Humble and Kind."  When they see someone in need, to help them out and be kind.  

You never know what someone is struggling with.

Always stay humble and kind.
