Larry got a phone call from my oldest brother about a month ago. Terry volunteered Larry to put railings on my mom's porches. My mom has slipped off and she decided she needed railings. I'm surprised she hasn't had them sooner. I noticed most of her neighbors have them. Anyway a guy that does that sort of thing came into Larry's shop either the day Terry talked to Larry or a day or so after. Larry decided that since they really don't specialize in railings for porches he would hire it out. My brother said he would help pay for it and so we got things going. I was at my mom's when the guy came over to see what she wanted. My mom told him more than she had told Larry. Anyway..the job is done and there are nice railings on both porches. We have the pleasure of paying for it since we are the ones here and are able to help. It was pricey...at least 2-3x more than I expected. We are blessed that we can pay for it since my brother informed me that he is without a job right now and can't help. I'm thankful that Larry is a hard worker and that we are good with our money. I am thankful that we are blessed and do have enough to help others. I am thankful that the more we do help others, the more blessed we become. At first I was a bit ticked that we got stuck with it all but after changing my attitude I'm really glad we could do this for my mom. Happy Birthday, Happy Mother's Day...Happy Everything Mom!
***I'm kind of embarrassed for even being a little upset yesterday. Opposition in all things right? It's okay I felt that way because it helped me remember how blessed I am. By feeling that way I prayed a little harder. I am being made better. I hope that weakness is a little stronger today.
