Sometimes SayGoBeDos seem to just get in the way! Monday was my mommy's birthday and I didn't plan on doing anything for her. (I'm a terrible person I know...) But, I did want to let her know I acknowledged it was a special day. So I began to clean... after cleaning the kitchen, dinning room table, living room, as well as going to the grocery store to get a card and baking a fresh peach pie, (I hate baking!) my day was shot. Looking back on this past week I really needed that time to get homework done, but something inside me never regrets following the spirit. I know for a fact that I made her feel loved and appreciated and I like to think that in the long run, God will bless me. :) Unfortunately for right now I struggling to get back the time I spent. I guess that's how you know if it's a true gift or not. By the unseen sacrifices you make for those you love. My mom will probably never realize how hard it was for me to spend my day doing unplanned things for her, but in the end it doesn't matter if she knows or not, it was still all worth it. I think we begin to understand unconditional Christ-like love the more we sacrifice and spend less time giving meaningless gifts. I think more people need to feel love through our humble sacrifice and service.
