Well we found out last week that my wife will have sinus surgery on June 1st. In the mean time she is on some medications to help her feel better and to hopefully clear up some of the infection. But she is still pretty sick, although she is getting a little better each day.
Our family, our church, and our friends have really rallied around us. Some have brought meals – I think we only had to cook once this week! Some have come and helped to do school with the girls (we homeschool). Some have done housework, others have baby sat so my wife could rest. Because of all the help I have only had to miss one day of work, and that was to take my wife to the doctor and we wanted me there (that was when we found out she needed surgery).
They not only provide physical help,taking care of the basics, but they are doing so much more. One person brought some mulch – he knew finances were tight so he brought a little over for my garden. Another person gave plants from their garden – they had extra (dividing), and knew I wasn’t going to do much this year. One brought gifts for the girls. Many are emailing, writing, and calling to encourage.
I would not wish all the bad stuff on anyone – cars dying, wife sick, things breaking, money flying out the door – but I do wish you could all experience the love and frienship that has been poured out on us the past few weeks. Friends are priceless. We are so rich!
