What simply made your heart happy today?

Mine was going out to brunch with dh & the kids. Aaron & Evan each gave me a piece of their bacon for Mother's Day! It was too cute, and if you know how much they like bacon you would understand what huge deal it was for them. Too sweet!!!

What made you smile today?

My son brought me a bouquet of tulips from the grocery store. They were tired and the last of the bunch, but they came from his heart, and he knows I love roses and tulips. In fact, the tulips started leaning toward the sunlight, so they are fighting to be healthy! DH actually worked w/him and picked out a very nice card and a big chocolate bar. They didn't do what they wanted to ( a real gift and dinner out - we'll save that till next week ), but it was nice to be thought of.

Also, I talked to my grandmother, whom I hadn't talked to in a while. She's in an assisted living center and you could tell she was lonely - one aunt sees her about 3-4 times a week and had taken her out to dinner today. She, my aunt and my brother and his family live in Texas - she hadn't seen him in over a month - his daughter just had a baby a few months ago, and my grandmother really would like to see them.

Later on the phone w/my mom, I surprised her and had her hold on, called my long-lost brother (he doesn't call but maybe once or twice a year) and we had a three way conversation. His daughter and her baby happened to be there. Very nice talk w/all. At the end of the conversation, after I mentioned how Grandma would really like to see them and the baby, they all decided to pack up and go see Grandma tonight for Mothers Day. I was planning on calling her again tomorrow, as I'd forgotten to get her new address, so I will be able to see how it went! I so hope it perked her up. Perked up my mom, as she hadn't talked to my brother in a long time. It was nice; able to both give AND receive! Please pray w/me for my nephew - he's in Iraq and a bomb went off outside where he was "living" a couple of weeks ago. He is safe, but I will be praying for his continued safety.
