Every year on Valentine’s Day, she makes sure that a women’s shelter in her area gets special gifts. Women in crisis need many things, but most of all to remember that they are LOVED and LOVEABLE!
So THIS winter, I kept an eye out for panty sales… and took a package over to the County crisis office, explained what it was and went on my way. I got granny cotton panties, kid Disney princess panties, thongs, lacey, bikini, stripes, polka dots and solids. I took the price tags off and put then in a shopping bag. The receptionist was a little surprised.
She said, “you know, I guess I hadn’t thought of it, but when a woman is running out the door with her kids, she doesn’t think of stopping for clean underwear.”
To my sisters out there who are going through a bad patch, my prayers are with you.
And thanks, Mindy, for reminding me to think of them…
