Kindness... Out of the Mouth of Babes

"To give without any reward, or any notice, has a special quality of its own."
―Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I have been working on a family home improvement project for a while.  More than a year, actually.  The other day, one of my children very unexpectedly said, "Thanks for all the work you put into making this happen."  I felt my heart soar.  What a kindness to receive appreciation from one's children.
