A Little Help From Above...

Tonight was a pretty amazing night for our family. Tony has acquired a pretty painful back problem. The doctors are thinking herniated disc. An MRI next week will give the full picture. He was flat on his back for three days. He is taking baby steps now. Anyway, talk about bad timing with an entire exterior of a house to caulk, a yard to put in (to rock hard earth mind you), and moving to do. We were a little stressed to say the least, but we should have had faith. A friend put out an e-mail for prayers with a sprinkle of manual labor. We got both in abundance. Tonight nine men from our church came over and caulked our entire house. They are coming back in the morning to help rototill and roll the yard. It was hard for Tony to accept help, but I think he was pretty touched and absolutely grateful.
