Strong Young men  –  A Calm Spirit  – Knitting with the Television

Blessing 1:  Strong Young Men

I am blessed to open the kitchen door this morning around 10:30 a.m.  It is obvious  the two young men are here to work, They ask me to take them to each room of the house to verify what carpet will be installed in each room, and stairway.  I had selected three different carpet/patterns for the job. The installers wanted to be sure they understood the directions.   soon they are bringing in the supplies for doing the work.  This is heavy work and I can see why the men are young and very fit to carry the heavy loads of carpeting . Around 3:30 p.m. I wave good-bye as the van pulls out of the driveway.

Now, I go back inside and walk on the new carpeting in my bare feet.  It feels like walking on marshmallows – so soft. What a blessing it is to have the new carpet.

Blessing 2: A Calm Spirit 

I am thankful that God blessed me with a calm spirit today.  I could never have imagined the piles of household belonging stacked high into the dining room  downstairs and into my fiber studio upstairs. Beside what seems like an acre of belongings, most of the furniture was taken outside and placed on the front porch by the two men. My job for the next few hours is to stay out of their way. I do my best to keep a low profile as I move about without disturbing the men who are working.  I say “Thank you,” to God for He is always with me and at moments like this it is easy to think about doing this alone and without enough sight to know what they are doing. I remain calm and trust God to guide me through the day.
