TODAY I AM ONCE AGAIN CELEBRATING!
“And just what are you celebrating today?” you might ask…

A NEW WINDOW!
CHOOSE JOY!
Like me!

You see when our new windows were put in, after a time (I don’t remember how long) I spotted a very truly infinitesimal crack on the main window: the largest window of all. It is a really grand window!
It had to be replaced because, of course, the crack would spread…

My first thought was I didn’t want this fabulous company to lose money over it. I am fair in business trading as I should be: and as a Christian I care about the prosperity of the people I hire or buy things from.
I care.

Selah.

Ryan (from the fabulous Sandstrom Windows company) assured my husband the cost of a new window was covered in overhead.  That made me feel better; but there was still the time the workmen took to put in the new crack free window. Such is life – as we all know!

TODAY IS JULY 11, 2022.
And the window is in!

Duane was able to come home early enough before the guys got here. I called him on his way to ask about how I could finish getting the living room drapes down. I couldn’t.
But…  I had a great idea as I was speaking to him. Bring me home a Caribou iced vanilla latte! Medium.

THIS IS A DAY TO CELEBRATE (keep in mind – every day is!)
You see, we’ve had too many main projects going on in my opinion: a new garage pad, a new driveway, purchasing new interior doors, working on kitchen cabinets – and – new windows!
The windows only took two (or was it three?) days. But those days were rough! Noisy, inconvenient, and uncomfortable.

NOTE: all the guys working were absolutely a great blessing. They had to do what they had to do. In the beginning Tina (our Terrier) was very barky. I had successful plans on keeping her quiet. One of the guys told me if he had to listen to that all day, he’d go home! I told him I didn’t blame him! When it was all said and done, I asked him how did I do on keeping my dog quiet? He said he never heard her – I was thrilled – and told him: “That’s what I wanted!”  A barking dog that goes on and on is nothing but annoying!

SO TODAY I CELEBRATE
again the wonderful people that gave us new and beautiful windows! I celebrate the gifts God has given my husband and me!

PLUS: I enjoyed my Caribou to the nines!

AND WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE:
attitudes, thankfulness and appreciation are choices!
There were inconveniences. There were messes. There was LOUD pounding AND BANGING…
So what!

SCRIPTURES REGARDING THIS JOY STORY:

Psalm 16:8-11
I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
