Relief Society

I tell ya, if I am ever going to be injured, I want it to be surrounded by my Relief Society sisters.

Playgroup was a tad more exciting than usual today. There were about eight of us moms at the park with our kids. Jodi was rushing to the other side of the play structure to get to her daughter Meg (who is just as fearless as Jaren when it comes to slides and high places). She stepped off of the platform wrong and twisted/sprained/broke her ankle. We don't know which of the three it is yet because last I heard she was in the waiting area of Urgent Care. But it was amazing to see how quickly everyone sprang into action. After the initial shock, that is.

In about five minutes time, she had ice and a bandage from the local minimart, a Suburban had been pulled onto the grass to get her loaded in, she had her foot wrapped and elevated, someone was preparing to take Jodi's kids to her house until Jamie (Jodi's hubby) could be contacted to come pick them up, and everyone's kids were being watched after so the mom's who were running around could do it without fear of something ELSE happening.

I love the women here. I love that everyone looks out for one another. I love that we watch after one another's children as if they were our own. And I love that all over the world are groups that feel the EXACT same way about one another. Our Heavenly Father knew what he was doing when he sent us to this earth. He gave us earthly families to love and protect us and to teach us. And he gave us a never ending capacity to love OTHER people and a ward family to extend our circle. Humans are not solitary creatures. We were designed to love and to be loved. And I feel so fortunate to get to love THESE women. Love ya!! And Jodi, I am hoping and praying that all is well and that you don't have to wear a big heavy boot around now that the weather is finally getting nice!
