The Kindness of Dinner and Goodies

"No man or woman can be strong, gentle, pure, and good, without the world being better for it and without someone being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness."
~  Phillips Brooks

A former law firm colleague of mine (who incidentally went on to great things) used to say, "Don't try to get anything done on a Monday -- just try to get through."  On some Mondays, getting through is tougher than usual.  But imagine that after one of those particularly trying Mondays, your former college roommate who happens to be in town drives out to where you live and takes you and your children to dinner.  She shows up with carefully chosen gifts for each of the children -- and for you!  And your goodie bag includes two beautiful lip glosses that she carefully chose based on your coloring.  Goodness like that is bound to change your day.
