November 3 2015 Greetings My Friend Wants versus needs is rolling àround in my thoughts again. We have a handyman who is helping Junior do somethings that Junior needs help with. When I asked God for help I was thinking of a contractor that would work with the Veterans Association who would do our kitchen and bathroom. Instead the guy is a man who knows general skills. At first I was miffed. Junior has done well much on his own. Junior has been teaching himself as he goes. He has been renovating for five years now and at times he seems tired. I also know that he needs to have some work to do. I mulled this over for some time before it hit me that God has given Junior exactly what he needs. The handyman is filling in the jobs where Junior needs help. These jobs are things we can afford to pay for. I see that Junior is relieved of a few burdens and he is not as tired these days. The renovating keeps my husband busy which is what he needs the most. For me I keep trying to rush the process which mens I keep learning to slow down and enjoy the process. I also learn that even though Junior is handicapped he has much to give and do. As I slow down there are many things I can still go. I may be slower but I am still able to contribute much to our lives and to other's lives. My work has changed and how to get it done is different. I actually learn “it is not over until it is over.” God reminds me again to trust Him. May God bless you and make His face shine on you. Love Janet
