“Mommyyyyyyyyy… I have a surprise for youuuuuuuuuuu.”

Cielee grabbed Carrie by the hand and led her into the living room. “Okay, now open your eyes.”

Carrie opens her eyes to find herself in the living room, staring at the coffee table. The table has stacks of folded rags and towels upon it, courtesy of Cielee Hollon’s laundry service. What a blessing!

A little background first. Cielee does know how to crudely fold laundry. And Cielee knows what a surprise is. But for the first time, Cielee combined the two for a “laundry surprise”. For some of you reading, the surprise is the mere fact that someone else folded the laundry. For others of you, you’re surprised that my 4-year-old folds more laundry than your 40-year-old! But for us, the surprise is that Cielee had the forethought to realize that if she folded the laundry without being asked, she would be blessing to her mommy! How awesome is that?

Thank you, God, for our little girl and for molding her into a beautiful creation before our very eyes.
