So I’m going to start off by saying that this isn’t one of those posts that you are use to seeing on here. This post is completely positive. My mother in law is a complete GEM. She has been one of the greatest blessings in my life! She has a servants heart which I love about her. She doesn’t have a job so she spends her free time helping others...especially me, my husband, and our girls!

I’m a stay at home mom and my husband works shift work. When something comes up, she’s here right away. If I need to take the baby to the doctor, she picks up the toddler. If my husband and I need a special night together, the girls stay with her so that we can go on a date..etc!

This morning I woke up feeling terrible. Aches all over my body, chills, fever. Both of our girls had just gotten over the flu and I was praying I didn’t have it. I went to the doctor and as you may have guessed, I have it. 😟

My wonderful mother in law came to the rescue...like always and is watching the girls tonight while my husband goes to his men’s bible study. What did I do to deserve this?! And when I get better, what can I do to show her that I love her and appreciate her? We spend a lot of time together (basically one of my closest friends) and I always tell her how much I appreciate her but I want to do something special. Looking for ideas!
