This past week Hubby and I had an exciting experience by letting loose (get your mind out of the gutter, I'm talking about stuff still!). A co-worker's mother is a single lady taking care of her quadriplegic 50+ year old son. My co-worker happened to mention the other day that her Mom is looking to buy a dining room table with sturdy chairs. She lamented that when her family gets together they can't all sit around the dining room table and especially her wheelchair-bound brother. Hubby and I have an extra dining room table! The manse we are moving to already had a dining room table. To take a step back, when Hubby and I first moved to Rural USA we were in desperate need of a china cabinet. We went shopping and we found the perfect china cabinet. It was cheaper to buy the whole dining set rather than just that cabinet so for six years we've enjoyed "the extras." On Monday, my co-worker gave me a smile that let me know our old dining room table was a true blessing to someone. My heart danced a happy dance as we smiled at each other not saying a word but knowing that God is Good All the Time.
As the days move forward and change, I'll keep a photo diary. If you've ever moved, you know these pictures won't be pretty but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might see a mess; I see progress. You might see empty; I see blessings.
The "old" dining room....
Present dining room....
Future dining room minus the Strawberry touch!
I am about to do a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? Isaiah 43:19
Yes, LORD, I perceive it...now may I have a little help??? ;)
