Our Diaper Party
October 4, 2010

On Saturday, we attended a baby diaper party for my niece, Katie, thrown by her sister, Audra.These two, both pregnant, have been a tremendous help to me, coming to help with cleaning.

I was struggling with trying to manage everything when a counselor advised me to ask for help. “After all, the worst thing that can happen is that they can say no.” So I called the girls and asked for just a little help with housecleaning. Audra said, “We were just waiting for you to ask.” They have been alternating weeks and it has been such a help. To me, it’s more than physical help–although that is a very big thing. It’s a tangible way of showing love. Every time I see them, I am reminded that I “only had to ask”, that someone else appreciates what I do, that they care and that I DO have blessings.
