Thankful Thursday
The Lord gave us a unique opportunity this week. My dad secured a job for him and Ben to do a roof on a church in Eugene, Oregon. Now, going from New York City to Oregon is a long way. And this roof is the biggest that my dad has ever done (and he has done quite a few ). And Ben hasn’t really ever roofed before. And they were going to do it in just a week. That’s all great – but what was I going to do by myself, with four kids, for a week?!? Have a nervous breakdown, probably! But the roofing job was paying enough that we could afford to fly the whole family to Denver. The kids and I would stay with my mom while Dad and Ben continued on to Oregon. This is a double blessing – a good job, and a trip “back home.” I have been wanting to see my grandparents again, and to introduce the twins to them, but I didn’t know when it would ever be possible. How could we afford four plane tickets? And two or three days in the car to drive from NYC to Denver? Not really in my plans! So
