Thankful for our Busy House



We were blessed beyond measure by our church family over the weekend. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Brothers (and a few Sisters) tore off the old roof on our house and put on a new one. Several sisters provided meals to us and the many volunteers. My cousin Sarah and her husband, Mike, came for a visit Friday-Sunday and blessed us with their company and their remodeling skills. They tore down the wall between our kitchen and dining room and with help from some Leo Brothers got everything back together by Saturday Night.

As I reflect on the weekend a verse from a song goes through my mind. "God will repay what I can not. Only Heaven knows my heart." My words can not begin to express my appreciation to the many who gave of their time to bless our family. It was so humbling to see over 25 people working on our behalf each day, knowing that many of them were sacrificing time at work and with their families to give to us. My prayer is that each one will be richly rewarded in Heaven for their efforts.
