twas the weekend before Christmas

This weekend happened a little different than I would have ever planned but I really learned a nice little lesson and hope I don't forget it soon. I think that it is very easy to think yourself not selfish when in fact you really are. I thought, " No we don't need to go visit someone in the hospital this weekend he will be fine, too much money, etc".
It was Kadence who taught me the best lesson!  When he found out Papa was sick he went right over to his little coloring book and colored a picture of a animal, cut it out and told me he was going to take it too him to make him feel better. I realized he wasn't thinking about himself only what he could do and that to him was coloring a picture.
After that I told him we would make some cookies also to take and that made him so excited. He helped me start to finish and even decorated some special ones to take.

How unselfish and one track-I am so humbled by my little boy and his soft heart and convicted to remember others more than myself and what I WANT.        Soooooo this weekend before Christmas we visited the hospital and I was reminded of a very important lesson.
True compassion and Christ love looks to others over yourself!


I was reminded of a sweet Christmas song called "Christmas Shoes" and it reminded me of my little Kadence and his big heart.
