“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down
from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting
shadows.” James 1:17
My husband, Blake, and I are
happily expecting our first child in September! We are overjoyed and so
thankful for the countless people who are sharing in our excitement! What a
blessing from God our child is already!
My first trimester brought
about a significant decrease in energy and required a lot more sleep, but that
is normal, and I praise God for Him continuing to create our baby inside of me!
Our baby is so worth the wait, lack of energy and tiredness!
At my 11 week appointment,
I heard baby’s heartbeat on a Doppler stethoscope, and Blake and I saw our
baby for the first time on the ultrasound! Amazed, excited and in so in awe of
God was how I left my appointment!
I am currently 16 weeks (in my
second trimester) and have had a pretty easy pregnancy so far with no morning
sickness or nausea! What a blessing! Another huge blessing is that my sister is
also pregnant and due with her first child two days before me! As you can
imagine, the past couple months for me and those closest to me have been a lot
of talk about pregnancy and babies…and this brings us to the next intentional
act of kindness idea!
*The act of kindness this
week…show kindness by intentionally leaving diapers or baby wipes on a changing
table in a public restroom with a note!
*My experience with the act of
kindness…I have started noticing all the changing tables in women’s restrooms
since becoming pregnant. I am sure that is convenient for mothers with small
children who need to be changed…so I intentionally bought a package of baby
wipes and made an act of kindness card with my stamp! I then left the items in
my car or purse for the next time I would go out to eat or into a store where a
bathroom would have a changing table. I found myself at Petco on Saturday
running errands since my border collie, Jack, was in need of more food. I was
not sure if Petco was going to have a changing table or not, but I was happy to
open the bathroom door and see it mounted on the wall! I left the baby wipes
and note and then smiled on my way out! As a mommy-to-be, I could imagine that
finding a free package of baby wipes in a random public bathroom would brighten
my day! I hope it did for the person who found it and that they might also be
moved to pass along kindness!
P.s. Please comment below with
your own experience with this act of kindness! I would really enjoy hearing
about it!!
Never thought of that Angie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea to brighten up a mother's day!
ReplyDeleteI had not ever thought of the idea either before becoming pregnant! It is another lost cost intentional act of kindness that will hopefully spread a lot of kindness to a mother!!
