The kids and I had fun sharing a morning with some friends visiting an Assisted Living Center in Plano. Molly played the piano, Lucy sang with her guitar and helped personalize shadow boxes for a resident. Will helped give out cupcakes we made to share with the residents. We made some new friends, shared our talents and left with a good feeling in our hearts for having cheered someone's day.
Molly visited with this delightful lady.
Lucy brought her friends Deanna and Katie along and worked on shadow boxes the residents have outside their doors.
This reminds me of a hymn we sometimes sing. Maybe we should sing it more often. The message is a simple reminder to me to do better....
Have I Done Any Good?
Have I done any good in the world today?
Have I helped anyone in need?
Have I cheered up the sad and made someone feel glad?
If not I have failed indeed!
Has anyone's burden been lighter today
Because I was willing to share?
Have the sick and the weary been helped on their way?
When they needed my help was I there?
Then wake up and do something more
Than dream of your mansion above.
Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure
A blessing of duty and love.

My favorite part was when Lucy played "the Climb" and the little girls sang along with her. It was a beautiful moment. I WISH I had been on my "A" game and brought my camera!!!! Drat!
Way to go guys!
