A couple of days ago I was running errands. The boys were in the stroller and I was attempting to push it while carrying several large storage bins to the checkout counter. After a near collision with an older woman and one collision with a store display (good thing Caleb is tough) I made it to the counter, paid and struggled my way out to the car. As I was loading the kids and bins into the car the woman who had been behind me in line ran over to me and gave me a big hug. "You are doing such a good job!" she smiled. " I watched you wheel your way around in there while talking to your little ones... I know how hard it can be and I can tell you are a hard worker... your boys are beautiful..." I stayed quiet, basking in this unexpected gift of encouragement, as she said a few more things that gave me a much needed lift. I was so blessed by this kind stranger's words. I hope the next time I notice someone out and about I will have the courage and take the time to go up to them and give them a hug, a smile, or some encouraging words!

What a nice blessing!
That's Awesome! We need more people like that in this world! :)
God knew! Isn't it amazing how He strategically places people at the right moments to bless us?
I wish I could have been there to watch you push out those bins though...you tiny little thing!
Blessing dear friend!
