Generous people

There are still people in this world who are extremely generous. In our home we had tile in our kitchen. The house was a rental before we purchased it and I'm sure the grout was never resealed. So the tiles started to pop up and my children would cut their little toes on them. Well this last weekend we had a neighbor not only give us, free of charge, enough wood laminate to redo our kitchen floor and the dinning room floor but he also helped install it too! It was an amazing example to me of how we should strive to be. Freely giving each other help, assistance, and sharing our talents when ever they be needed. I really wish I was more like that.
Along with the new floor and help there were some other tender mercies shown to my family. Another neighbor let us barrow his truck to help us take some of the trash to the dump. With the very strong and freezing winds and the warm sun hitting the back window of the truck, it shattered. We stood there and listened to the glass crack. The neighbor was very understanding and we got it fixed. When we took the truck back to him he handed my husband more than half of what it cost to fix it. So with that money we were able to give it to the other generous neighbor to pay for the table saw that he purchased to help us with the floor. It was so fun to watch these events unfold. The Lord is ever mindful of us.
