A Deed, Indeed.....

I find myself writing mostly about words, but now I want to share a little about deeds.

Have you ever done something for another person out of love? I don't necessarily mean love of the person as the motivation but, rather, the love of God. It is such a good feeling. But, then, when the task is complete and the person wants to show their gratitude, how do you accept their thanx? We were blessed to spend an evening with our friends, enjoying a fine German meal and good company.

Many of you who read our family's blogs have read the book that I wrote about an amazing lady who lived in Alaska for many years and died in 1969. If you have read the book, you probably recognized Eagle Village and Eagle, Alaska, in the news this past week. Two emails today confirmed houses destroyed, and folks learning about true "Homelessness." Great deeds of kindness by fellow citizens saved an amazing amount of "stuff" from the museums, and they say they are ready for tourists.

We thank God for much good news!

Pun with words

I just entered the world of selling on Craigslist. I have purchased a number of small items by this means, but never had a reason to sell. However, now that Eli has outgrown the bouncy seat and car seat base and bath tub, I need to recycle them.

I could not resist advertising one item as a "barely used bath tub." I wonder if anyone will notice!
