October 3, 2022 – Let the Final week begin

It was another chilly three sweatshirt morning, with temperatures in the 40’s.   We have been very blessed with great weather, with afternoon temperatures in the 70’s with clear blue skies.   I heard that the heat was hooked up today, so it should be nice and toasty tomorrow morning :-).

We had another wonderful devotional and prayer from a local pastor.  He has been joining us every Monday morning, so it’s probably the last time we will see him this year … but, already looking forward to seeing him again next year, God willing.   

Just about in chorus from the team … “Oh no, a full sheet today…lol”.   On the overall schedule, Bob said that we are in very good shape and will comfortably finish this week. 

Our first task was to transport a list of materials from Jennifer’s Dad’s garage.   Thank goodness it is very close to the worksite, since it took us three trips to move all the items on our list.  

The next task on our list was to hang door casing trim on the bedroom closets.   Since the Door Casing Trim team finished their work early, they got that task completed.    So, we started caulking door frames … and there is plenty that needs caulking.    We carefully apply caulk to every seam in the door frame and all edges.   When it’s done, it really makes them look great!   We definitely have more caulking work for us tomorrow ;-).

Even Jennifer, the future homeowner, came to help us with filling the nail holes.

Other teams were making great progress.   The kitchen cabinets are getting installed.   I even jumped in to help with holding the last wall cabinet.

The Bathroom team installed the bathroom vanity and vanity lights.

Overall, another great day!   God is good!

I wanted to share something with you from Saturday.   Since we did not have a scheduled pastor to share a devotional with us on Saturday morning, Bob shared a devotion from a Care-A-Vanner last year.  We all enjoyed it so much, we wanted a copy.   I thought you would also get some laughs, so here it is:

Devotion from Donna Burkett

• Accept the fact that some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue.
• Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
• Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
• Drive carefully.. It is not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
• If you can’t be kind at least have the decency to be vague.
• If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
• Never buy a car you can’t push.
• Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won’t have a leg to stand on.
• Nobody cares if you can’t dance well.  Just get up and dance.
• Since it is the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
• The second mouse gets the cheese.
• When everything is coming your way, you are in the wrong lane.
• Birthdays are good for you, the more you have the longer you live.
• We could learn a lot from crayons.  Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull.  Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
• A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
Save the earth…. It is the only planet with chocolate.
