About a month ago I learned that one of my clients is having a hard time in there marriage. Sometimes she is happy (or appears to be) and some times she just seems a bit down. I now go to the home 2 times a week. Well I went to clean her house for her and as I show up she did not look at me and she stayed in another room most the time. She would come out to "try" and talk but when she did you could see the sadness. So 2 days later when i went back to clean.. i bought her a nice plant with a card telling her that i am grateful that she has welcomed me in her home and let me help her and what a great mom I felt she was.when i left I put it on her kitchen counter.... She texted me later that day and told me that that had made her day and that she loves the plant.. ( which I knew cause of the ones she did have in her home) and it was nice to come home to a clean home and a nice surprise....
Another time I want to say is one that quite a few people asked me why I would do something like I did.. Well let me tell you...................... A " person" (no names) wrote me an email and told me everything they HATED about me and why and that i was an imbarressment and that I am a failure... this email was probly 5-6 pgs. long.. and about 3-4 months after my husband had passed away.. WELL I knew this person liked my cooking so I made a treat and put it in a cute little bag and put it on the door step..rang the door bell and bryson and i ran..... Never heard a thing.... I have helped others in need in other areas and being a single mom i do struggle at times but knowing that some of the sacrifices i have made to help somebody make a car payment, pay insurance, food. what ever it may be is a sign of love and kindness and that I really do hope that the little efforts i have made and will always continue to make these people, friends, strangers, clients or whomever it may be will know that they are thought about , loved and cared for and i hope only the best happens and that there day will be lightened.....
I look back at the efforts I have made at trying to make things better and there are PLENTY more that i have done but i will never " brag" or make a big deal of it cause then you loose the meaning of service. But I do know that through the growth and learning I have gone through is just making me stronger, confident and knowing I AM A GREAT PERSON THAT HAS A BIG HEART..... so I feel SERVICE to whome ever it may be IS IMPORTANT !!!
