No Small Thing

Christmas came early in our family this year.
In the form of a brown box with a treasure inside....a long awaited, long desired treasure.
My daughter's been nice this year...and Santa's been blessed.
So he and Mrs. Claus are spreading the joy...
{my son's been nice too...and he hasn't been forgotten...but that's a different story}

Thing is, Mr. and Mrs. Claus needed help yesterday to make this gift thing happen.
UPS needed a signature {there was, after all, treasure in the box!} and we were all stuck at work.

Good thing I have a Heidi in my life.
She's a pretty blonde elf. With a heart of gold.
She's my friend.
And when the call went out for help, she dropped what she was doing, went to my house and waited for the delivery.
And this is no small thing.
Oh, maybe technically, it was just a "little" favor. Maybe.
Thing is, having a friend, who has your back.....
Having a friend who sweats the big and small stuff right along side of you...
Having a friend who gets how much this brown box means to your daughter...
Having this kind of friend
is
never
a
small
thing.

So, when I texted my daughter, and told her not to worry, that Heidi was headed to the house to rescue her treasure...she knew it would be safe. And we were both reminded that the treasure in the box was nothing
compared to the treasure of real friendship.

Thanks, friend.
