Cleaning Day

Today, Don and I spent several hours getting the RV in tiptop condition. After living in it fo 3 months, it was due a thorough cleaning (we have been doing regular cleaning but not an inside/outside, top to bottom cleaning): windows, blinds, floors, all woodwork polished, cabinets and drawers straightened. The rest of the day was spent riding bikes and enjoying neighbors.

While riding bikes, we witnessed a sad situation. A man who had lost half of his foot had to be taken to the hospital via rescue squad; he fell and damaged that foot and leg. Later today, a taxi brought him back to his RV; however, he was so unsteady and weak that he fell in the yard again. Several of the men tried to help him up but, because of his size (300+ pounds), he wouldn't allow anyone to help him thinking if he may pull then down as well. He was trying so hard to get up. Finally, the men pushed a picnic table over to him so that he could use it to help himself get up. His crutches were inside the RV and he couldn't get the door opened. Don was able to get it open and his mom brought his crutches. We often forget how fortunate we are. All it takes is a moment witnessing something like this and we remember to be thankful for our blessings. I ask that you remember this young man in your prayers this night and thank God for your blessings.
