More amazing kindness!
I have this guilty pleasure... shopping at yard sales!! It started as a way to sustain because we did not have the means to shop at retail and now its just an old habit... something that makes me FEEL good!!! Getting stuff for a bargain- its the thrill of the hunt I guess!
Saturday am mom and I were out hitting up a couple of yard sales and it was a pretty BUST day. I had to call Troy to get directions because I was totally lost trying to get to the one I really wanted to go to!!
So while on the phone Troy says that the mowing crew was there. HUH?? Our church friends have been so amazing to us. The young men were there again (for the second time) mowing and manicuring our yard... and not just mowing, but weed eating, edging, cleaning up toys and rotten apples from the back yard, raking up all the grass clipping and spreading them carefully in the garden, trimming back dying plants and trees, etc etc. It was like a small army.
THEN before I could get home... the cleaning crew was there... attacking the bathrooms, dusting, vacuuming, stripping off all the bed linens, washing, folding, mopping scrubbing... and in less than 2 hours my whole house was sparkling....
BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE!! At 4:30 before we were heading out the door to a session yet another person was knocking on my door to deliver dinner. Warm and ready to eat.
I am amazed by the outpouring of love and caring that we have received and continue to receive daily!
THEN I open the mail and there is a strange envelope with a gift certificate for merry maids service to have my house cleaned.... from a dear and very special friend...
my heart is SO full and tears fill my eyes when I think of how blessed I am!

Amen!What a glorious day for you.Your church family is so real and good, and unfortunately, so many of us have families that don't even extend that kind of kindness and support, much less a church family!!You are truly blessed.
love you all,
Mom
Awww, Amber, I'm so glad that has happened for you. You and Troy definitely deserve a break! Thinking of you guys!
