When I noticed a bit of loose wood on a kitchen drawer, I asked my husband if he had some wood glue. He said there was some in the garage, and I should write a note to remind him to look for it. So I wrote a short note that said “wood glue for drawer” and put it on the kitchen counter.
This morning I came into the kitchen and found my son standing there with a bottle of wood glue. He said he’d seen my note and wanted to help out. So I showed him what drawer it was that needed to be repaired, and he took care of it right away.
Having people around who want to be helpful, even in small ways, is something to appreciate. Pets also—they can sense when a person needs comforting, and their joy in life always brings a smile.

How wonderful your son wanted to help. This is a testament to you and your husband’s nurturing upbringing. And I totally agree about pets — they certainly provide the nurturing when needed. They are my angels.
Thank you for sharing and linking to Nurturing Thursday!
Thanks for commenting Becca, have a great weekend! 🙂
So true, Meg! My son always asks for any “projects” when he comes to visit. Sometimes there’s work for half a day 🙂
Glad he’s so helpful 🙂
Your son is lovely, so thoughtful of him. It’s great when the help comes in a surprise way.
Yes, a very nice surprise indeed!
Meg you have raised your kids well.
And yes these little moments give us happiness.
My husband deserves much of the credit too 🙂
Great job to your son! The little things can really warm the heart, I so agree!
Especially when they’re unexpected!
