Now that I’m grown, I have taken some wrong turns along the path but found my way eventually. I’m a jack of all trades and the master of none thanks to my foster father. He was a jack of all trades and the master of most of them so I learned from the best.
I own a small home improvement company. I put on roofs, install windows, add rooms on or build a deck if that’s what you want. Right now is the slow time of year but I still stay busy. I have been so blessed in my life that I try every year to give back to someone I hear about that is in need.
This year, there’s an elderly couple that needs a new heating system because they have an old oil furnace and can’t afford the oil to heat their house. I had replaced a perfectly good electric furnace for a family that wanted a better one. So I’m taking the one I took out of their home and putting it in this elderly couples home for them. My charge, a home cooked meal. That’s all I asked of them and she fed me everyday I was there working on her house.
I completed the job yesterday and just in time for the cold snap that has come through. The looks on their faces of appreciation was all the thanks I needed. God is good!! My life is good. Life if what you make of it so make yours dazzle. I have in a lot of ways and if I can, you can too.
