Well, today we spent the better part of the day helping our dear friends clean and prep their new house for move in. Steven spent some quality time with Cory out at the Habitat For Humanity Store while I worked on their new kitchen. We shared lots of tips and tricks with them. We also helped them pick out paint colors and other goodies. Steven spackled all of the holes to prep for painting and replaced all of the knobs on the kitchen cabinets. I took out all of the old contact paper and gave their cabinets a good cleaning and then laid new shelf lining down. I showed Tricia a great cleaner in the kitchen that makes the cabinet doors look fantastic, Murphys Oil Soap, I swear by this stuff!! I also got to rock Lauren to sleep which is always so relaxing for me!
It is so exciting to buy your first home and I loved sharing in Tricia and Cory's excitement. I truly wish that we had close friends to share our joy with almost 5 years ago when we bought this house. They both thanked us several times and treated us to lunch. I told them that this is what friends do!!! It really is nice to have friends like them too! Ofcourse, it made me miss my BFF Tricia and my BFAM Donovan even more. But I know that it was God's plan for them to move and now we have a new and exciting place to visit!!!
You know, it is funny sometimes who God brings into your life and just how he does it too! Most of our close friends we have met through our church. It may sound strange, but I thank God for my accident 5 years ago. If not for my accident, I don't know when I would have searched for a church home here in San Antonio. I was too focussed on working. But my accident "corrected my vision" in a BIG way! I came back to my heavenly father and started taking my family to church. The Lord has blessed my family is so many ways, and today I am thanking Him for all of our wonderful friends, both near and far.
Jesus, thank you for all of the friendships created and growing in Your name. Our friends are such a blessing to us. Please keep our friends safe and well. Father I praise you for Donovan's awesome recovery from Gilliam Barre Syndrome. Lord, please be with him as he still continues to gain his strength and continues to work on his balance. Be with him , Father, as the fatigue sets in and it becomes hard to go on through out the day. Father, I also praise you for Tricia and Cory's new home, their first home. Please be with them as they move in and get settled and help everything go smoothly. Lord, please give Cory relief from the pain in his knee and leg. In Your holy name I ask these things......Amen.
May The Lord Bless You With Awesome Friends!!!
Dawn
