Blessings of abundance. That should really be the theme over here. Can we have multi-themes? Sub themes?
Abundance.
Gratefulness.
Peace.
Grief.
What else? So so many feelings that roll on repeat over here.
Every day, I feel all of these things. One of them is hard. The rest are pretty amazing. And honestly, grief has some beautiful things tied into it as well. Its just maybe the more difficult emotion out of the list.
Today was a really full day, but it was really nice. Kids were in a few different directions, and I had the help I needed to get one of the young ones somewhere that I couldn’t do myself. I was able to make a yummy, easy supper out of food that had been gifted to our family, and have a crunchy apple on the side that we bought from a fundraiser that one of Brady’s coworkers’ kids was doing. There is a guy working in our yard to clean up some final jobs before snow really grows a pair and starts to fly. And in the midst of all the after school rowdies, another one of Brady’s coworkers came by with a meal I am SO excited to make in a couple of days, and a gift for Brady.
So look at that list.
My best friend cleans my house, and actively prays for my family.
My mom helped get Spoons somewhere after school, and she actively prays for our family.
The groceries that I made supper from came from a man who loves Jesus and attends our church, and the apples came from someone who also loves and prays for our family.
I can’t tell you anything about the yard guy 😅 but he is SO kind and works quickly and quietly, doing a really nice job.
The man who brought the meals and card actively pray for our family, and he is very warm to talk to. Offered specific things he can help with, and was on his way.
Thank you, all, for being good neighbours, and for obeying Gods request and loving your neighbours as you see needs arise. For being generous, and being thoughtful and encouraging. Texting without expectation of replies. Taking us as we are, which is not necessarily a great way, but loving us anyway.
If its not clear 💜 We love you too.
