That seems to be my mantra for the last couple weeks because of all that is piling up in front of me.
The hurrieder I go, the behinder I get! (I don't know where that comes from)
;)
That's just the way things are around here lately.
With all that is going on, my time has been filled and my yard has been suffering.
Last week a friend came and helped relieve some of that stress by helping me wash plates and goblets (I am talking hundreds), and helped weed some of the yard too. (There was still much to do - I have a big yard!)
My home teacher saw a need, sprayed some weeds and called upon the Priesthood and Relief Society members of our ward. They scheduled a work day in my yard, inviting all who could come. And they came! Men and women and youth of our ward and community. It was awesome!
I was on an emotional overload that day and didn't make it outside,
but I saw people out every window or heard them on every side of the house, and I know they were here.
Thomas and Dana helped me count up how many people came and helped, and we came up with 50 people. . . 50! They came and went right to work in any area in the yard they saw a need. Cars were lined up the road in front of the house. They worked and they left just as quickly as they came. And they left me with a beautifully cleaned yard, having done in 2 1/2 hours what I could not in 2 1/2 weeks.
Every where I look is a testimony of the love of the friends and family that love to serve the Lord and bless the lives of those whom they do serve. And my life was certainly blessed!
Thank you, everyone who came or babysat for others to come. THANK YOU!
Because of you
I FEEL MY SAVIOR'S LOVE IN ALL THE WORLD AROUND ME!
