Kindness of a stranger

So today I had planned on making chicken soup for dinner, thought I had everything, but as it turned out I needed some celery and an onion. So after Jamison woke up from his nap we ran down to Smiths. Jamison has a super snugly twin size blanket he likes to drag around the house and CAN NOT sleep without it, and today decided he need it for this quick trip to the store, cool whatever we take the blanket. While I was carrying him into the store, with his blanket, he covers his face with his hands and squeals "Cold" as the wind is blowing, so I grab the blanket and through it over his head, he smiles, and headbutts me. Oh the love. Anyhow we get inside and they have all their cloths out in the entrance, and I decide to take a detour and am just "window shopping" when a women taps me on the shoulder. I turn around and she says " I just have to tell you what a good mom you are, I saw you walking in the store when you covered up your son in the cold, it was so cute", we exchanged some kind banter and she was on her way. I'm not writing this to brag or to show how great I am and how people on the streets are noticing,because that is certainly not the case, but because I was so touched by this woman and wish I could have truely thanked her for her sweet words. As I walked away about a minute later I could hardly keep back the tears. I was so filled with Heavenly Fathers love. It was just the littlest act of love I didn't even realize I needed. I have been dealing with so much over the last few months with no end in sight, if it's not one thing it's another and lately I have felt like I was reaching the end of my rope. But then something like this women today intervenes, and it gives you the strength to keep on going on. And I'm sure she will never know how much she lifted my load. I am so grateful that even though sometimes I feel so far away, Heavenly Father isn't and gives us that little hug we need and it reminds us that he is there watching and waiting. And how grateful I am for those that he uses to do such great work.
