From Blessed to Bless

Today started with receiving a blessing and ended with to bestowing a blessing. Truly a blessed day!

June 20

What a full day! My husband Michael rented a trailer today to pick up the cabinets and stove that we were blessed to receive. I knew that we didn’t have enough room in the basement to put everything. And I didn’t want him to have to take everything down the hill and into the basement as soon as he got home anyway. It was going to be enough work to load it all up and unload it all. So I tackled a long-overdue project. Clean the garage! I had just kept putting it off. I had done it a couple of years ago when our daughter moved here. After she moved out things just slowly got out of hand. I still can’t believe I got it all done before they got back with the first load of cabinets. I through some junk away, donated a huge pile of stuff, and was able to put everything else away. I love it when things are organized. It just brings me peace. Having the garage mostly done(I still need to organize some of the shelves) feels so good. When Michael got back with the last load, he and the boys, it took all four of them, carried the bunny cage we had built for Sarah all the way up the side of the house and put it on the trailer to deliver to my friend Marie. We had been wanting to give it to her since before Christmas. But it is so big we couldn’t put it on the back of the truck. Since we already had the trailer, Michael said we should just deliver it to her. It was especially kind of him to offer since he had been loading and unloading cabinets all day and it was 8:15 before we headed to Marie’s house. It was so good to see her and get a big hug, from her and several of her children. I just love her and her family. We had a chance to catch up a little and share some of what we have been doing. By the time we got home, it was after 10. I still can’t believe we got it all done in one day. I was even able to have my prayer time before I got started this morning and I am finishing the day writing this and thanking God.
