I have done 33 acts of service for Natalia, one for each year she would be. Some of them I have been able to do anonymously, others I have done in person which makes it hard to be anonymous! : ) There are still 4 more days and I am not going to stop because Natalia has not stopped serving either!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it is mine and Natalia's 33rd birthday this year! Where has the time gone? Seems like just a few short years ago that we were playing "house", making scrapbooks out of magazines, playing in our cardboard clubhouse, riding our bikes pretending they were real cars, playing Nintendo, having sleepovers in her waterbed..... so many good memories. I often think of Natalia and how she would handle situations that I am in. Just yesterday, she was a part of my YW lesson.
ReplyDeleteBetween me, Matt, and our boys, we completed 15 acts of service in the past couple of weeks. Some of which include: donating items to the Road Home, giving a dessert recipe to a stranger that wanted it, gave cookies to neighbors that had given service to us, watching a chick flick with my husband (I totally remember watching "You've Got Mail" with Natalia!!!), trying to smile at everyone, especially elderly, and my boys probably do even better at this than I do, my boys held the door open for me at church on Sunday, as well as for several other people, and Matt took a coworker to lunch after his grandmother had passed away.
We hope these acts of service will help us be more like Natalia. We love you, Natalia, and miss you! Happy, happy Birthday! Thank you for doing this, Camille.

Thanks for the reminder to get our monthly service done in the name of such a sweet soul. Heather Gines
ReplyDeleteI know it's late, but I wanted to add one more act of service today. I just hired a new team lead and though she already had a lot on her plate she accepted the position.

I think it made her day and it made mine too -Lisa Nicole Jameson
