Good morning. One week ago this morning we celebrated our Savior's victory over death. This extraordinary act of love toward us inspires us to out of gratitude to love and care about other's joys and struggles.
Kudos to Ashli, the young people of our church, and their leaders, for organizing our sunrise service.
A large church family is a blessing we often take for granted.
Many folks give of their time, talents, and treasures behind the scenes. Thank you to all who give willingly every week, some in the forefront, many in the background.
Sometimes it seems we bite off more than we can chew. Little jobs seem to go ok. Bigger jobs can be overwhelming. Can you imagine the positive attitude the beaver in the photo below must have working on that large tree.
What do you do when you dive in to try and help and get stuck?
You don't give up. You go and find more help.
Sometimes we have to get out of our comfort zone and diversify. Brad is cutting Kurt's hair on a rainy day.
It's never too early to start helping. Four month old Jackson and Grandma came to the shop to see how the seed business was going.
If you start young by the time you're a kid you are a real helper and feel good about yourself helping the big folks.
A person is never to old to help out either. Experience is often the best teacher. Happy 80th birthday Dad. Thanks for being such a good waitress Lacey.
Some of you have unique and special talents you can share. Gideon is happy with the quilt Grandma made for him for his birthday. Gideon loves science and the quilt is all about the solar system.
Friday evening was the pre-k through fourth grade music production at Osky Chr. Grade. Thanks Joel, Jason, and kids for an outstanding job. Thanks Cheryl for helping students to love music. Thanks Gloria for coming out of retirement to accompany.
Family makes life extraordinary. I would like to thank my family for all their hard work. I would also like to thank them for their help and patience when I break things. Happy 25th birthday yesterday Kurt and Karl. Thanks for coming to the shop with breakfast early Kristin. Becky also had a birthday last week and Mark and Stacy had an anniversary. I'm bad at remembering. I think I'm forgetting someone.
Good help is priceless. Most of our help is partime and when they are available. Thank you Brad, Linda, Paula, Pablo, Alex, and Andy. Often you just seem to be part of the family. Also thanks to Matt and Dan for helping out the last little while.
Our community has had a number of accidents or sudden health issues this last week. Many we know. A few we don't. Our prayers go out for Cole, Terry, Anne, Tyler, and Katie.
Whether life is a joy or a challenge for you today look for the extraordinary things and know you have a God and others that care about you. Have a good week.
