Yesterday after church, we came home to huge piles of "stuff" and half packed bags. We needed to go back through everything and try to figure out how we were going to get all of it to fit into our luggage and still be within the weight limits for the airlines.
As much as Ruth and I work at this and pray for patience with each other during the process, it's difficult for us to work together when packing. It's a delicate balance of allowing one of us to be in control without the other one irritating the other.
But God answered our prayer yesterday in the form of one of our dear friends, Denise! She's a wonderful friend of ours who has always gone above and beyond to help us out. She came over and started working with Ruth on organizing, sorting and packing. They worked well into the late evening and by the time they were done for the night, they had been laughing so hard their side's were aching! It was a lot of fun watching the two of them rolling on the floor.
Anyway, we feel really good about our packing, and even though we are still in the midst of it, it's all starting to come together and fall into place.
Thanks Denise! You were a blessing and an answer to prayer. Thanks for being there for us and we will miss you while we are away, but of course, we'll keep in touch.
