Babysitter From Heaven!











This is a glimpse of my wonderful babysitter with my kids. Her name is "Ms. Sarah" and our whole family loves her! She came on Wednesday with a cute project for the kids and they all had so much fun. She is always full of life and energyand words of encouragement for everyone. Today she called me to say that when she added her hours it was way more than normal and she wasn't comfortable accepting that much money. I apologized for working her so much and she said "how about when I work more than 8 hours in a day we consider it volunteering and the days you had me take the kids to co-op we don't count because well it just cost you too much and I enjoy it." I told her that she is worth every penny and we are so blessed to have her but she was still uncomfortable with us spending too much on her so she said she would recalculate in the "volunteer hours" and send me what I owe her later. This girl is an angel. At 18 years of age she is living her life for God in every since and I am amazed at how much I trust her. She answers Adia's questions better than myself sometimes. Okay I could go on forever but really I have a babysitter/nanny from heaven and I couldn't be more thankful!

Yeah, she's a "keeper" - it's so nice to be able to trust a sitter with your most precious blessings. Great pix of the kids...looks like they had fun.

Ok, Adison is so stinkin beautiful. And this babysitter is pretty great. Those little turkey cookies look fun - I will have to remember that one for a day I'm feeling crafty (and bored). Glad the kids are having a good time.

I definitely agree, she's a keeper. How nice it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for our grandchildren. God is watching over your family.
