What I Love About G: Heart of Service

I keep meaning to sit down and write a "What I Love About You" post for C and G. These wonderfully touching posts would be complete with insightful comments into their personalities, sweet stories to illustrate my points, and corresponding Bible verses that I intend to pray over them as they grow into the people that God created them to be.  Sounds great, right!?! 

Problem is I keep MEANING to do this, but I NEVER do.   I guess the perfectionist in me wants this to be perfect...perfect takes time...I don't have much of that...so the days pass and I do NOTHING.  Boo! 

My answer...for now...is just to write down things as they come to me. So here goes:

Yesterday after J and C left for school and work, G disappeared upstairs.  I was cleaning the [very messy] kitchen and lost track of time.  When I finished the kitchen and realized what time it was, I called upstairs to see what she was up to. It was quiet, and normally quiet = bad :)  She calls down "I'm cleaning C's room, Mommy.  I wanted to think about him." 

AWWW!  

And as it happens, I DO happen to have a relevant verse in mind...the ultimate and perfect example of service:

Matthew 20:28 even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve 
and to give his life as ransom for many.
