For a man who runs a tree service and sells seasoned firewood, December is a busy month. There are trees to trim and firewood to distribute to restaurants and homes.
I was there in that tree service office while a young man in
his late twenties was talking to Shawn, the owner. Shawn was sitting about 15
feet away while the young man stood at the counter.
The young man was explaining his
experience with many different heavy equipment machines, along with a spotless safety
record. You could tell by the way he talked that he had done everything he claimed.
Shawn asked a few questions,
sized him up, and asked, “When can you start?”
“As soon as you want me to.”
It was Friday afternoon. Shawn said, “We’ll see you
tomorrow morning at seven. Finish the paperwork and give it to my secretary, Bonnie.”
A qualified man met an employer in need and that’s all it
took. Both men went home happy that night.

My 14-year-old daughter’s friend, Laura, is having
to move out of her mother’s house and live with her father.
BUT her father is now moving to a new city, 26 miles away. Laura will have to relocate and start in
another school.
She is in her first year of high school band. Mrs. B, Laura's former middle school band director, is married to Mr. B, Laura's new high school band director.
So here are these two band directors who probably sleep 3
hours a night and … they offered Laura their home to live in.
This is a life changer for Laura. When she eventually leaves her new
home for a music scholarship, Mr. and Mrs. B will say that they gained
as much from having Laura live there as Laura did. That may be true, but Laura
really won on this deal.
God Bless a new job and God Bless a new home.
