Grateful

I just wanted to write down how grateful I am for people who are so willing to serve. Last night when Liam was screaming and thrashing in the middle of the night because he was itchy I was trying to figure out how I was going to get him something to relieve the itching without taking him out and exposing a bunch more people to his germs. I tried calling my sil this morning but she didn't answer. I didn't want to call either of my normal friends who bail me out since they both have small babies and I didn't want any chance of exposing them. I had decided to just go when Jason got home from work only to realize that he's supposed to go to the temple with the High council tonight so that wouldn't work either. I honestly didn't know what I was going to do, but I had remembered that I was supposed to go to a meeting today for the school carnival so I needed to call the lady in charge to tell her that I wouldn't be able to make it and and get the info another time. She was so sweet (I've never even met her in person but we know lots of the same people) and she offered to go get the anti-itching lotion I needed from the store. At first I did the whole no that's okay thing, but I realized this might be my only chance so I told her okay (I have a hard time accepting help sometimes-- especially from "strangers") I made sure she knew I'd pay for what I needed and she told me when she'd be by. Well...Liam had finally gotten to sleep and I was laying down trying to sleep while holding him when I heard her knock. I tried to hurry to the door, but Liam woke up and I had to attempt to make myself presentable so when I got to the door she was gone and had left the stuff I needed and a note telling me not to worry about the cost because she wanted to take care of it. I seriously almost broke down crying from the generosity of this person I hardly know to go get this for me when I couldn't and then offer to pay as well was amazing to me. I will try to repay her anyway when Liam is better, but her willingness to serve me when I really needed it was so touching to me. That is what the gospel is really about--taking care of everyone...even if you don't know them well. Now I just hope this lotion works so that he can sleep tonight and hopefully so can I.
