A mama moved to tears

Today I had the chance to volunteer in Caitlyn's 3rd grade class.  We did Math games and it was tons of fun.  After Math I snuck into the lunchroom to have lunch with my babe and a few of her friends.  I love doing that.  I love to see a different part of her day and enjoy meeting sweet little school friends. 

On my way out, I stopped to chat with Mrs. Hervas as we passed ways on the playground.  She thanked me for coming to do Math groups.  I told her it was my pleasure.  She then began to tell me how lucky she felt to have Caitlyn in her class this year.  She went on the say that Caitlyn has a smile and is filled with joy every day she comes into class and that she likes to help others.  I thanked her for recognizing these special gifts and told her that Caitlyn can be a little tender hearted too.  Mrs. Hervas said she could see that.  Then she gave Caitlyn the kindest compliment and I knew in my heart that Mrs. Hervas was beginning to know Caitlyn and her heart.  She said "I could tell from early on in the year that the reason Caitlyn was put on this earth was to lift others up".  I thanked her and teared up when I got to the car.   Caitlyn is doing what God calls us all to do, she treats others with so much kindness and grace. 

With all of the changes we have going on lately, I have had a lot on my mind.  This was a welcome reminder from God that the most important things in life are strong and unwavering.  Caitlyn's love and joy is apparent to those she meets.  Thank you for being a great example to all of us Caitlyn.  We love you ! God is smiling for sure.  XO
