A little of this with good friends after a long day helps to settle the mind!
Through it all, my family has shown resiliency! We have tried to keep the lines open to talk about how the boys are coping. Nothing is off limits! That is helping to keep things from being bottled up and manifesting in extreme and unexpected ways..but it doesn't completely stop it! From time to time we get caught by surprise!
We were fortunate to have an out of state church volunteer to help me with anything I needed help with. I desperately needed to have help taking up the flooring and sub floor in the living room and kitchen. I tried to do it my self and only accomplished taking up 2 square foot in 2 hours! There were at least 5 layers of flooring/sub flooring to take up. The team spent several days working to get the floors up. After the floors were up and we were looking at the ground from inside the living room, they even offered to put down new sub floor that same night! This was a huge weight lifted off my shoulder since I simply wasn't in a state of health to accomplish this by myself.
The crew installing new sub floors after working all day ripping up the old sub floor! They even raked up the debri from the areas around the house AND under the house where they were working, clearing up all the old wood and trash from under the house!
The icing on the cake were the scriptures they wrote all over the floors. This has been a lesson in brotherly kindness! This experience makes me want to be a more extravagant giver to those around me. To seek out places and situations I can help!
Thank you for stopping by and catching up on our journey! Much more story to tell!!
