Somebody loves me :)

Sometimes, even though Heavenly Father has no intention of jumping in and saving us from our circumstances, He'll send us proverbial flowers to brighten our lives. Just such a thing happened last night. The last few days have been not fun. I get up late and I go to bed early, secretly wishing the next day won't come. But it always does, so life goes on :)
So that being the case, I looked in my mailbox yesterday when I found a gift card for a family membership to Hogle Zoo, with a note that simply said, "Hope you have a fun summer." I bawled :) Asher and Belen have never been to the zoo...I can't think of anything more perfect for our family.
Two months ago, my summer plans included big plans of doing things like this for other people, and yet here I am on the receiving end, again, with no way to ever return the favor. I kind of hate that, but I am once again deeply humbled that someone would not only take the time to think of me and my family, but to do something about it, and something this big, it's just a lot to take in. So whoever you are, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I truly don't deserve such wonderful people in my life.

That's awesome! I feel the same way most of the time. I always pictured myself on the giving end of such services, but am just not in a position to be the giver most of the time (at least not for now...hopefully some day). But I know those giving always get a lot out of it too. So I say, enjoy the zoo! What an amazing, perfect gift!

Yes, you do deserve this, Tiffany!!! You are one of the most awesome people I know. You are an amazing example to me of a Christlike woman, mother, and wife. I am so glad somebody did this for you. Wish I could say it was from me :)

Recipe to not to deserve wonderful people in your life......

Don't be a wonderful person......

So, sorry Tiffany, but you get what you give......(and deserve it all)

And without someone to receive there's no one to give to......

And to the giver----let me add thanks from me, the Mom of the most wonderful human being in Bountiful, Utah

Tiff, let me know when you go because I would LOVE to go with you! I love the zoo. (And, btw, it wasn't me but I wish it was.) What a wonderful thing for someone to do for someone else wonderful. You are my example of someone who always serves, so I guess turn about is fair play!
