JUST WANTED TO REPORT TO ALL OF YOU WHO DID SO MUCH TO PREPARE FOOD, FILL UP THE PANTRY, CLEAN UP THE MISSION YARD AND HOUSE, AND REPAIR THE IRRIGATION SYSTEM FOR THE YARD. IT WAS SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.DICK AND I HAPPENED TO BE AT THE HOUSE REPAIRING A BROKEN SPRINKLER ON THE FRIDAY EVENING WHEN DOUG, BETH AND SARA ARRIVED.
WE WATCHED THEIR EXPRESSIONS AND HEARD THEIR WORDS OF WONDER AND APPRECIATION AT ALL THAT HAD BEEN DONE TO WELCOME THEM HOME. BETH WAS IN TEARS SEVERAL TIMES AT THE HUGE GIFT OF SUCH A CLEAN AND SPARKLING HOME AND THE NEAT AND TIDY YARD. THEY HAD SUCH A WONDERFUL TIME WALKING THROUGH THE HOUSE AND COMMENTING ON ALL THAT THEY SAW.
YOU WHO WORKED SO HARD CLEANING WALLS, IT WAS NOTICED!! THEY THOUGHT THERE HAD BEEN A NEW PAINT JOB IT LOOKED SO GOOD! THEY LOVED THE WINDOW TREATMENTS TOO, AND APPRECIATED THE NEW MINI-BLINDS THAT REPLACED THE OLD CRACKED ON
ES.THEY WERE BLESSED TO FIND ALL THEIR BOXES MOVED OUT OF STORAGE AND INTO THE LIVING ROOM. THEY ACTUALLY GOT THROUGH THEM ALL THE FIRST WEEKEND, IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT DOUG AND SARAH HAVE BEEN FIGHTING AN "AFRICAN" FLU, AND BETH MOVES IN "SLOW MOTION" AS A RESULT OF HER HEALTH ISSUES.
OH, WHEN THEY OPENED THE REFRIGERATOR AND SAW THE FRESH PRODUCE...ESPECIALLY THE GRAPES!! WHAT FUN TO WATCH THEM ENJOY THOSE SWEET FRUITS OF LOVE FROM YOU ALL.
THE FACT THAT THE BEDS WERE ALL MADE AND READY FOR THEIR WEARY BODIES WAS ANOTHER BLESSING!
I THINK WE CAN SAY NOTHING WENT UNNOTICED AND ALL WAS RECEIVED WITH THANKSGIVING TO A GOD WHO WORKED THROUGH YOU ALL TO BLESS THEM IN THIS WAY.
THEY REJOICED IN IT ALL AND WE WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU SO YOU COULD BE BLESSED AS WELL.
