Feeling very blessed. I had a bright idea late Sunday night to build a dog yard while Lance was out of town to surprise him for his birthday by taking something off of his plate. Thankful his trip got pushed back a day because it gave us a little more time to work. This may not seem like much to most, but my gift to Lance (and the gift from those who helped out), was not only a mostly completed fence… it was the gift of time to spend at home with his family. He has been working every second to pay for baby King, and feels frustrated that he can’t get all the projects done around the house. We already had most of the materials since before we even moved here to complete the project… but we lacked the time. So in 3 afternoons (and until 2:30AM on Thursday morning), with a little determination, this pregnant lady, her 5 and 3 year old, my in-laws (one who recently had knee and shoulder surgery), and friends- Dan and Cole – we mostly completed the project. Lance was very touched… as was I… I think I even shed a couple of tears because I felt so gracious and blessed beyond measure… maybe even still shedding them -I honestly don’t think it is the hormones 😉 Now, today I get to be lazy – baby King and husband’s orders. Thankful for those that God has put in my life… for my husband, family, and friends… and for the many ways He blesses me each and every day!
