helping a neighbor

Today was a very good day. I was able to REALLY help a neighbor. You all might remember I blogged about a Mom who lost her 7 month old baby (Karen) to a DUI accident. The Dad was injured so severely, we thought we'd lose him also...in fact, we were waiting for possibly a double funeral. Miraculously, he survived. He is recovering slowly. However, he was the only one working in the household, so things have been really tough for the family. They are in the process of becoming US citizens. Our Deacon Ric did a home visit, and saw that they had NOTHING in the home as far as furniture. So tonight we cleaned out the garage and gave them our excess. We had lots of stuff we never use. How great to be able to help those who really need it. My spanish is weak (so I could not understand) but the family was grateful...very grateful. Again, count your blessings folks.
