Be a blessing

My walk yesterday in the country was a pleasant one without rain and the temperature was a pleasant 62 degrees.  I walked down to the main road and instead of turning left into town I turned right and headed up to the scenic view over look. That was some trek up the hill.  The sign on the road told me it was two miles up a 7% grade.  But once I made it to the top, look at the beautiful view I got to see.  It was worth the walk up the hill. : )

 While I walked Ken got started working on the tractor barn.  He didn't go on the roof though until I was there.  I like to be around while he's up there.  Besides I save him many trips up and down the ladder bringing him things as he needs them.  I made many trips up the ladder carrying two shingles at a time.
Here he is on the roof.  He said this picture looks like he's laying down on the job. : )  He is actually hammering a shingle on here.

Here he is at the peak.

 I took this picture from the little window to show how steep the 45 angle looks. 

This is what the building looks like now at the end of the days work.  The garage doors are not put together yet but just there temporarily to close up the opening, but you get the idea of what it will look like.

I took a few short walks around our property when Ken was off the roof.  While waiting to help him in any way that I could, I sat in a lawn chair and knitted.  I also prayed a lot that he would be safe up there!!
The weather was great yesterday for working - low 70's and low humidity!!
We left about 7:00 last night like last week and again to come home and traffic was good.

This morning the weather was pleasant for my walk here back home.  I didn't look at the thermometer but it felt cool and the sun came out.
No special route today.  Can't go that far because I don't have that much time Sunday mornings.
I found three lucky pennies. : )

Today the closing hymn we sang at church was Make Me a Blessing. I love the words to this song and would like to share them with you on this Sunday.

 1. Out in the high-ways and by-ways of life,

Many are weary and sad;

Carry the sunshine where darkness is rife,

Making the sorrowing glad.

Chorus:

Make me a blessing, Make me a blessing,

Out of my life may Jesus shine;

Make me a blessing, O Savior, I pray,

Make me a blessing to someone today.

2.  Tell the sweet story of Christ and His love,

Tell of His power to forgive;

Others will trust Him if only you prove

True, every moment you live.

3.  Give as 'twas given to you in your need,

Love as the Master loved you;

Be to the helpless a helper indeed,

Unto your mission be true.

Have blessed Sunday and may you be a blessing to someone today. : )
Happyone
