You ladies at LoveFeast are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing this story and reminding me that it is so easy to make a difference. You did with your phone call and visit, and then again with this post.

You are NOT just a mom from the ‘burbs!

I share time with the women in my local homeless shelter and I hear the same thing from them all the time. What makes a difference to them is you did it out of love, love for them and caring about who they are and what they’re going through. They don’t care that you’re “just a mom” or “from the ‘burbs.” They care that you aren’t just there to check ’em off your list – a do-gooder. I had an idea – I’d been heading into the shelter to do devotions 3 times a month for just over a year & in the middle of a conversation with the women, I asked them if they ever did baby showers. The women themselves tried to throw them, when they could but they “didn’t amount to much” because those women don’t have enough money to feed themselves. So… baby shower in a box was born. Now, my baby showers aren’t cookie cutter. I cater them to every mother but…I cart it all to the shelter in 2 totes. I buy a cake & bring punch to each one, I decorate the room, we play games, the mom-to-be opens gifts and they last an hour. I take pictures which I print & take back within a few days. There aren’t many expectant moms in shelters – their housing comes up pretty fast – but I’ve done a few. They’re the best parties I’ve ever thrown. I LOVE my ladies. I love that you had this experience and I’ll pray you do it more…and more… and more…

You dropped a bomb on me! I love the idea of a lovebomb and your post inspires me to start dropping some in my corner of the world.

This post is sooo inspiring. In fact, I have a note down to contact Interact (our regional women’s battered shelter) this morning!

LOVE the pics, and all the kids’ smiles. Makes us realize how darn lucky we truly are.

What a beautiful, selfless act of kindness you showed those women and their children. Truly what you saw as a small act may have an amazing ripple effect in their lives and in ours as your readers.

That’s great! My heart just wants to burst and give give give, when I see women in situations like that, but then I don’t know how or what I can give. You did good. Cupcakes and a story and some swag. Who ever turned that away? Like you said, you never know how you touched someone’s life by doing that simple thing. It might have been more than cupcakes to them too.

Honest to goodness, I teared up reading this. What a beautiful thing you did. Sometimes just knowing that someone cares, even a small gesture can mean so much. Good for you!

Also, I now want a cupcake.

You women are so beautiful! What an awesome way to use your “gifts” to better someone elses lives. I have thoughts of doing nice things like this…but will admit most of the time they end with just that…a thought. You are really inspiring me to get up off my duff and help change lives. Thanks girls for another inspirational Lovebomb experience!
