Acts of Service

Tomorrow James is going to have vitrectomy on his right eye. This morning he had a pre-op appointment. Since the eye clinic is closer to our son's place, we went there after visiting James' mom and slept over.

Once everyone was up, Scott asked, "Hey Dad, do you want me to give you a haircut? You may not have one for a few weeks." "Sure!" James exclaimed. I'm sure he was pleasantly surprised just as I was. So many things had happened in the last few weeks that haircut was not on our minds. But Scott showed he cared.

One of the five love languages promoted by Gary Chapman is "Acts of Service." How blessed it is to have a son willingly voluntarily giving daddy a haircut! We felt loved as we drove to meet James' eye doctor.
