Last week for FHE we talked about love and showing love to others and how important it is to let people know that we love them. Well since it was the week of Valentines we decided that we should "heart attack" someone who needed it for Valentines Day. Well, the kids decided that they wanted to "heart attack" their Great-Grandpa Pugmire since this would be his first Valentines Day without Grandma. My Grandpa has been through a lot (and that is quite the understatement) since the accident that killed my Grandma and injured him badly last May. We knew that he needed a little extra love this year so last Friday (13th) the kids decorated hearts with meaningful notes, colorful drawings, cute sentiments, and messages for Gramps! Later on that night we snuck into the assisted living where he has his own little apartment and quietly went to work decorating his door. We left and couldn't wait until the next day when Gramps would see it. When Gramps showed up to Brynlei's party on Saturday morning he was telling everyone about his door. He was sooo happy and touched!! It made the kids day to know that they made their grandpa happy!! I think it's in the little acts of service that really teach and make it more meaningful for my kids to learn just how important it is to give of ourselves and in doing so become more like our Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray that we can have more opportunities to serve others together as a family!!!
