Today after school I took the boys to see Santa. The place I took them also runs a small train around the center of the outdoor mall. Of course they were really excited to ride the train as well as seeing Santa. We hit the train station first. The boys were jumping around and yelling "TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN!!!" So I went in the little kiosk to buy them their tickets. As I am reaching in my wallet, this woman behind me says "Your boys are so adorable and I would love to buy them a train ride" and then sets down $10 on the counter. I was in shock but so touched that someone would do this for my boys. I told her she didn't have to do that but she insisted. I thanked her with tears in my eyes and she walked away. I looked for her the rest of the afternoon but I never did see her again.
God must have known that I needed this encounter today. It was like an angel sent from heaven. It restored a bit of faith in the human spirit for me. It's the little things in life that go so far. So to this lady who was so kind and generous to think of my boys, thank you. You made my day.
About Me

- I am a mom and a wife. Those were the two things that I knew that I always wanted for my life. I never knew that God would grace me with a wonderful husband and three beautiful boys. I am a stay at home mom teetering between sanity and insanity most days. I have the best job in the world and it doesn't come with any monetary compensation. My payoff is the hugs, kisses and "I love you" I get on a daily basis. And for me, that is better than any money I could ever receive.
