week 17.

I have a Melissa friend.  Whose example of kind and selfless giving always stuns me.  But when she showed up at my house last Friday with cleaning supplies in hand, my pride made me first curse her {pushy!} kindness.  And then relent after a quick glance around the house.  Which told me that we did indeed need help.  Illness and pregnancy have given me a double dose of lethargy...and the house has definitely suffered.  In the end, I was grateful to have swallowed my pride.  She left me a few hours later with a beautiful home and a weight off my shoulders.  A powerful dose of Peace.
