Thanks DD, vessel is a term I recently read where God uses people to deliver his message. You know I don’t think I would be at this different place in my life without being here. It’s strengthened this feeling I’ve had for a long time, really years, to help people where I can. I’m not sure if getting older makes me want to learn to be more giving. For a while now I have felt I have to give the people around me more. I worked all day yesterday at a friends house where both husband and wife had operations, have been struggling, and find themselves having to sell their home. I feel as though it was an opportunity for me to help them which helps me. My wife thinks I’m going crazy working on my Sunday but I told her even as busy as I am I want to help our friends, the wife is my wife’s best friend from high school. I’ve written how I don’t want to waste my days, especially now when I am still able to do this work. My body isn’t going to be able to do this forever, I feel it. My days are numbered. I have a bad hernia now and I’m hoping I can make it through this current job so I can get it fixed and afford to take the time off. I have no choice but to finish this job. The homeowner is a magnificent surgeon who has 2 sons and herself has problems. Her husband left her and this house I’m working on is much closer to where she works. Sorry again for bending your ear at 215-315 in the morning. I hope your doing OK DD!!
