Dad and several of the children worked on copper for the new house today. Anna was Dad’s helper – getting him anything that he needed along with cleaning pipes, etc. Joseph and John worked with the plumbing too. Jesse was an “odds and end” man. When I came over to take some pictures late this afternoon, Jesse graciously helped me up to the house with using two boards; we stood on one, and he put the next one out for us to get on. It has rained quite a bit the last few days, which makes a mud mess in the yard and “driveway”. While I was in the house, Jesse contrived another way, scrap pieces of wood going down the “driveway”.
Dad has such an incredible spirit as he preserves and works through challenges on the house. It’s amazing how each step takes longer than you really think it would. 🙂
Joyfully His,
Sarah

The creative (and resourceful!) way Jesse designed to get down the “mud driveway.”
I am laughing as I look at the driveway! My husband has concrete blocks going from our back door to the chicken pen! It had been a mud hole and it was stealing my joy to traipse through muck to take care of the chickens. Such a happy family and lovely smiles!! EVERYTHING always takes LONGER than it should!! If you remember that before you tackle a large project such as remodeling, pray to the Lord and press on…
