God's work

Hello Everybody! I decided it is high time that I (Woody/John) sneak onto the blog and do a post instead of Kandy for a change. Today was an awesome day! Some of you may already know about part of my day and wonder, how can he say that? Well, let me share ALL of my day with you. Today was the last day of work for 2009 for me, so I assumed things would be quiet around the office and rather boring. However, it turned out to be one of our busiest days of the year (well I am not sure that is technically accurate, but it did certainly feel that way)! God provided a lot of customers and really good sales. I really had a huge sense of thankfulness, that through this rough year economically, God has blessed me and the company I work for over and over again!

Now after work is where the climax of my day hits. On my way home, I hit a patch of ice and slid off the road. Ok, that is a mild, very watered-down version of what happened. I actually slid off the road, through the ditch, into a plowed field and rolled my truck. First things first, praise God that I walked away with the smalled little scratch, the truck-not so lucky! Making a longer story short, the truck is probably totalled and sitting in my driveway with a huge tarp on it. At first I was really bummed because I have really enjoyed being able to work on this truck and have something that I have desired since a teenager. But then again I was overcome with thankfulness. Thankful that I was able to walk through the door of my house and see all my family. Thankful that I was able to hold my daughter as she drank her bottle. Thankful that although I really liked my truck, I know that it is only a truck.

Thanks to God who provides in so many ways! Thank you for keeping me safe and for blessing me with so much!

Here are some pictures of the truck--I know you wanted to see it
