The Color of Generosity -- it comes in many different shades!
Sunday, August 17, 2008
My ebullient friend Jeni (right), and her best friend Amanda (left), painted the inside of our house yesterday! The living room is now "brown bread," (the color of the wall behind them) And Jennifer's room is chocolate brown and pink!Friends of mine from the dinner theater have said they are simply shocked that somebody "offered" to paint for us. With amazement they say, "It's such a big job. We can't believe somebody would do that for you!"
Yes, it WAS a big job, vaulted ceilings and all, and our cup is overflowing with gratefulness for these two generous, gifted, life-giving women! Another amazing part of the story is that these gals are friends from highschool, and we found each other again on Facebook!
Although the paint job is not quite finished (we still have a hallway and foyer to paint), enough is done that I can show you "before and after" pictures! Jeni and Amanda have literally painted their generosity onto the walls of our home. We know their open-handedness will color our days for years to come. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Amanda and Jeni!

And thanks be to God for showing himself through the faces of our friends!
