It was great having the whole family together working hard. It was really cool seeing everyone show up to give their time and hard work to make a difference for Jodene. Many also gave their money for food, paint, drinks, dinner, etc. I would like to list names but I don't want to offend anyone by leaving their name off. I was impressed with the quality of the work. The color of the paint was perfect. It was just great to see everyone being unselfish and showing their love for Jodene.
This reminded me of the Hines family. I remember when I had been spending the summer painting Grandma's house and it was going incredibly slow. The Ead's showed up and Dad organized the whole family and we painted the rest of the house in one day.
Saturday was a true family day. I love my family!
The coolest thing about the family is also the hardest thing about the family. It continues to evolve. We lose close ones and think that the whole family unit has stopped. Then we see that what those family members built lives on and on. Could you not see it with little Madion working hard and wanting to please? The next generation of families gives me great optimism. I encourage all of them to appreciate the family unit and honor those that gave their hard work and love to lay the foundation of this family. We honored Mom on Saturday and all of you made her proud.
We do have a special family. I love my family!!
ReplyDeleteI have felt so much better emotionally. It did wonders for me. Like Sally Fields, "You do love me, You do!"
