I babysit this family. It's like they are the cutest family ever. They'd do anything for me and I'd pretty much do anything for them and then today as I was just cruising around facebook this came to me:
God puts amazing people in our lives for different amazing reasons.
Like for example this family. I started babysitting them in November of 2008. At the time the ages of the children were, 6, 4, and 2. I was quite an adventure and I remember after putting the kids to bed that first time I babysat them I just vedged on the couch until the parents got home. I remember going home that night and lying in bed thinking, I want to get to know this family in a deeper way. This past Thursday I had the perfect oppertunity and I took that oppertunity and ran with it. My folks were having our house carpets cleaned and my brother's bedroom carpets were in desperate need of them so all of his bed stuff was in my room. I was frustraited and didn't want to come home from volunteering at my church to wet carpets and a disorganized room. So I called this lady up and asked if I can escape from my insanity and hang out with her and she said yes. So I did. Well I had the hugest headache of my entire life that night. She nicely wrapped her arms around me and was comforting me in a way I wish I was comforted on a regular basis. Then today as I was stressed out completely, I took a moment to think about that night where she just wrapped her arms around me and how much of an impact she has made on my life in the past year. I mean anyone who can sit and listen to my crap, give me a little advice, and still love me, they deserve more than a thank you. Which at the moment I can't think of more than a thank you but she deserves it. She was a mother to her own children and as they were lying in their beds getting some shut-eye, she turned to me and as I was half asleep on their couch, she loved on me as much as she could pretty much like she'd love on her own children. I love this lady so much, she's like an aunt to me. I don't know if she realizes how much she means to me. Like the aunt I've always wanted.
