Wow, my friend Tara Brown and I worked together at Proheat a few years ago (before I went back to college).
While we worked together, she had her first child, Reese (she's 4 now). Then she had Nolan (he's two now). But eight months ago, she had twins, Evan and Calli. She has her hands full. It's never a dull moment, and she rarely even has time for a break, so ...
Saturday I went out to visit with her for two hours. I brought our favorites - Diet Coke and McDonald's breakfast sandwiches. Luckily, the twins took to me and Nolan liked me too. I was able to hold the babies while we talked and caught up. She was able to do some things too.
As I listened to her, I realized I should have listened to the promptings of the spirit that prompted me to visit earlier in the year. Several times, but I thought, she wouldn't want me to visit. I'm list twice her age. Turns out I was wrong.
I went back on Tuesday, today! I helped with the two little ones while the older kids took naps. I got Even to go to sleep while she was able to eat lunch. Such a small kindness, but I am sure it meant a lot to her.
I plan to go and help often, I know the Lord had me not work at this time for a reason, so I could be there to help others. I love Tara and her beautiful family. I hope I can just ease their challenges for a while.
