Blessings

As you may know, I often pray that my girls will be a blessing to other people. We had the best time tonight - we went out to dinner with some good friends of ours who live in our neighborhood. They actually have 5 kids, but 3 of them were away visiting family. Our kids spend a ton of time together and have so much fun. Anyway, as we were eating, I saw this elderly lady who kept watching Ava and waving at her and she just seemed like the happiest lady. I wasn't surprised she was watching Ava, though, since she's such a ham and she looks for people who are looking at her so she can put on a show. Long story short, the lady came up as she was leaving and said, "All of my children live 10 hours away, I have grandchildren and even a couple of great-grandchildren, and my baby is 44. I love kids and I always pray that I will be blessed by children and your kids were my angels today." She told our kids thank you for smiling at her, told them how beautiful they were....she just went on and on and was the sweetest lady. As she walked away, she said, "God bless you!" I just melted. I cried right there at the table in the middle of Texas Roadhouse. Our kids were a blessing to her, but what a blessing it was for me to hear that from her!!
