More blessings!

What can we say? We’ve been blessed -- again! We’ve been praying for some special funds to come in to enable us to purchase a lawn mower (our last one was stolen in all the storage/moving over the past year). Well, Ballard Chuch of Seattle, WA., blessed us with some “leftover” funds from their ministry trip here in July (check out our previous PnP about that) and told us to use it for Ken Nsimba’s visit (he arrives this evening in Vienna to help us kick off our Hip Hop Club) and whatever else we needed. So, yesterday, I bought a Husqvarna lawn mower.

This is the first time since we’ve been in the house (Aug. 1st) that I’ve mowed the lawn. Our landlord called over a young man with a weed-whacker on July 30th. I got so desperate when the grass grew out, that I actually cut the front lawn with a scythe! I must say that it looked pretty good, but it took waaaayy too long.

Anyway, I mowed the front, side and main part of the back yesterday evening - TWICE! Why? Because it was so long that I had to use the highest setting for the first cut, and then drop it down 2 notches for the next cut. It’s still not at the length I want, but it looks a LOT better - and I’m sure the neighbors are happier as well.

Well, all that to say that the Lord is good and even cares about our lawns. Thank you, Ballard Church & Pastor Mark! We pray God’s richest blessings on you all -- even if you hadn’t donated special funds for a lawn mower! ;-)
