This weekend had been a long awaited event for my daughter…who is 13…she had planned a trip to see a horse trainer that she is a big fan of who would be visiting within a couple of hours of our home. It would be a two full day event, with tickets and traveling and eating out….
The weekend came with many distractions….first a treasured adult friend could not come enjoy the event with her. Later a conflict in timings for several other events would make the day less attractive than it had been. Finally, my child asked for something we were astonished to have her ask…
to do a weekend instead of things she would love to do with us….
just us…
and so a very blessed two days ensued of a little girl giving and giving and giving throughout the weekend to fulfill her wish list of things she wanted to do for others this weekend…
This weekend my Madison chose to do for others instead of herself, despite the absolute gift of a weekend of her own choosing….
and I’ve never been prouder of her.
