Have you ever experienced God’s love and tender care through the kindness and generosity of others? Yesterday, God swept into my home in the form of five beautiful angels led by our new Waco church friend, Vickie Thompson, to decorate #senoritalily’s room. They rearranged her furniture, brought in a shelf from the “back-room-hoarders-anonymous-abyss” (that is currently serving as garage storage after our move from Tulsa 3 months ago🙈🤦🏼♀️), and added a few new pretty things to spruce it up and give it a refresh. They even straightened her closet making room for her dresser to fit inside, giving her more floor space. I was blown away!
A horrible migraine the previous day left me disheveled and scatter brained, feeling unprepared when they arrived. Literally met them at the door in my jammies with bed-head hair, moving slowly and apologizing profusely for a dirty and messy house and appearance. Let me tell you, these ladies were so full of grace and joy and zero judgement as they lovingly embraced me while rearranging Lily’s furniture, organizing cubbies and closet contents, hanging pictures and curtains, and entering the “Caution! Hazard Zone!” back room to dig out a bookcase, sweeping up dust bunnies and long lost socks in the process. All the while reassuring me my home was normal.🥺😭
What in the world? 😱 God continues to demonstrate His love to us in such personal ways of which I feel so unworthy. Saying “no” to pride and embarrassment, and “yes” to grateful acceptance gave them the opportunity to minister and bless not just me, but my children! The joy on Lily’s face and the lesson learned from these women that serving others with your God-given gifts is the greatest fulfillment of our purpose in life. And brings us the greatest joy when sharing that gift generously with others.
Thank you Jesus, for Vickie Thompson, and her precious, beautiful friends. Waco friends, if you ever need someone to decorate your home or office, call Vickie to work her magic! She is absolutely amazing!
