It brought tears to my eyes. A little gift that added tremendous warmth to my heart. I took my two oldest granddaughters to school this morning as I normally do on school days. Unless there are extenuating circumstances like a job interview or something more important.
Well this morning they called me a little early. They wanted to go by the bakery prior to going to school. They were happy to report they had their own money.
Thus, I picked them up early enough so we would have time to stop at the bakery on the way. We pulled up in front of the bakery and I had chosen to let them go in by themselves. As they approached the door I called out to them to come get the change so they could pick me up a cupcake. The youngest of the two had already gone inside and the oldest has motioned to come back for the change. Then went on inside the bakery without coming to get the change.
After they made their purchase they came back to the car. The younger had purchased a honey bun and the older got her usual two macadamia cookies with nuts. They had purchased me a green cupcake with a St. Patrick's Day ring stuck in the top.
I asked them didn't they want the money for having purchased the cupcake. They said no, you do stuff for us all the time.
Well let me tell you, it didn't cost a whole lot financially but the reward intrinsically is priceless. God it feels so good to do something for a child who is grateful.
Lord, thank you because I needed that right now today!
