So thankful for everyone’s kindness

Posted on June 2, 2013

JoAnne and I are so thankful for all the kindness and generosity that has been expressed to us over the last few days.    For our moving time yard sale that JoAnne organized, all kinds of people volunteered in one way or another to help move things in and out of the house or office or to tend the sale itself.  While we didn’t make a fortune, we moved some items and more importantly we had great conversations with many folks.  Turns out it’s a great way to meet people.   But most impressive to me were all the friends who helped us, in spite of the 90 degree days we had.  And some of them were the best customers too.   Thank you so much everyone.

We also received a gift from our new church at Copper Hill to help with our move, a gift they were not required to give but chose to give out of kindness and generosity.   We feel blessed indeed.   Thanks to the folks at Copper Hill too.
