Working full-time and caring for three kids keeps me running. There are not usually enough hours in the day to accomplish everything I need to. So luxuries, such as a clean house and a home cooked meal do not happen every day. But, I wish they did. At the end of the day when I look around and see the cluttered house and the dirty dishes from the grilled cheese I quickly made for dinner, I miss the days that I was home to clean the house and cook meals. This past week while I was at work two sisters from my ward (who have requested to remain nameless, so I shall call them TB & KR) came over and cleaned my house and brought me a meal. Do you know how wonderful it is to come home on a day that ends with Parent Teacher Conference to a home cooked meal and a clean house? TB & KR have been fabulous in their small acts of service to me. This is not the first time they have made my day... a few months ago, LS joined them and they spent the morning painting my half-finished living room. These tasks that my life does not allow me the time to get done in a timely fashion have brought relief and joy to my life. I still love to sit in my living room and see the painted walls, and today I sit in a CLEAN living room, with a full stomach from a delicious casserole and best brownies ever! The "night off" they gave me was such a blessing.
