Zach's dad went on a warranty call earlier in the week. He had done some work for some friends who live close and they called and said there was a drip from the drain. He stopped by and was offered payment but warranty calls aren't something that is billable. He asked about Zach's trip and where he was so far and then gave him $40 to put towards the trip.
Then while talking to friends last night we were explaining that Zach has been working on tearing down a washing machine for recycling and he said he's got a washing machine sitting in his garage that Zach could have. He also said his mom probably has some metal things at her house so they made arrangements to meet up today at a job that he had to finish up. Turns out the owners of the house they met at is a cousin to our neighbor and he got to talking and has sent home a trailer full of metals things and they are going to go get another load.
Do you ever have those moments in your life when you almost feel overwhelmed at other people's generosity and think that there is no way it can get much better then all of a sudden someone else does something and you just keep feeling like there is no way you can feel any better? That's kind of how I'm feeling right now. It's kind of like floating on a cloud, with fluttering butterflies in your stomach. We will never be able to make anyone understand how truly appreciative and grateful we are. I only hope that we are all able to continue to pay it forward as we can!
Til next time...
