MS Service Day and other Blessings - My Heart Runneth Over

I'm way behind with my blogging. But I need to share with you about the MS Service Day back in early March. It was amazing! The MS Society teamed up with Home Depot. There were about 30 Home Depot volunteers (all managers, district managers, etc) who took time for this day of service. Six hours of non-stop work. Some of the projects: re-roofed the gazebo in backyard, fixed a whole in the wall, fixed an unattractive TV area by replacing an entire wall, pulled bolts from kitchen ceiling and repainted, updated fixtures in bathroom, installed handicap bars in master bathroom, installed a handicap friendly (taller) toilet, installed a new lock on the front door, built railings coming in from the garage, built a ramp, repaired our fence and gate, planted flowers, did touch up painting, and helped clean and organize. Friends also came out and our friends at Phish Phood catering provided food and drinks for everyone. It was a beautiful day and we felt very blessed.

Thank you to all the volunteers who came out to work and support this awesome day!  Below are pictures from the MS Day of service back in early March. It was freezing but that didn't stop anyone from coming out and working their tails off.

Planting flowers and cutting back trees.

Even several friends with MS came out to serve. My dear friend Jeanne.

Yes! What a Difference a Day Makes! This is our house captain who totally rocked!

Let me also thank friends who are constantly helping me and my family through my challenges with Multiple Sclerosis. My mobility is very limited now and my husband and sons do a lot, but can only do so much. Friends are constantly helping me by bringing meals, planting flowers, helping to clean, organize, decorate and most importantly, shop! The shopping part is always a huge help! We are so blessed to live in a community of such loving and giving people.

My BSF Bible Study ladies have really stepped up too and are not just studying the word BUT living the word. Just recently five ladies came out to help me plant flowers, decorate, clean and organize for an upcoming graduation party at my house. BSF friends have also helped me pack, move, unpack, and hang pictures. They have blessed me in our study and in their ongoing care, concern and assistance. Let me also say how accommodating BSF has been to my special needs by making sure I have a more convenient classroom and seating during lecture. They accommodate others equally well. It's very hard to get to my Tuesday morning class but I look forward to starting my sixth year of BSF in the Fall.

Ahhh. . . Truly, my heart runneth over . . .
