I was watching Extreme Makeover Home Edition tonight and they blessed a family with a new home who were ministering to teenagers in their town. They lived in a trailer and their grown daughter was living there with them with HER medically challenged baby.
Maybe its just because of Kyleigh but when they opened the baby's new hutch and it was completely stocked with diapers, wipes, aquaphor, and butt cream... I just lost it! Somehow its the butt cream that always gets me. What is it with me and the butt cream?? I don't think its so much the cream itself... I think its all the butt cream represents... such a simple thing yet so out of reach for so many.
At the very end of the reveal the man who owned the house said: Its not about what you HAVE... its about what you DO. I truly hope that at the end of my life... if no one has anything to say about me that they will be able to say that I GAVE. I wish I were rich and didn't have to work all the time. I wish I had endless funds because I surely would know how to give it away!!
As a side note... a beautiful client of mine stopped by our studio the other day... she is an Arbonne Representative and she came through the rain hauling this box that was bigger than HER!!! FULL of all natural arbonne baby products... butt creams included!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She donated them to The Giving Love Foundation and I cannot wait to give them away!!! What a sweetheart! I meant to take a pic but I forgot... I definitely will tomorrow!!! Huge hugs and Thank yous to Anne!!!!
