Two are Better Than One

Last week I was working on a very large pergola (arbor) for a friend in Los Angeles. The project is beautiful but I vastly underestimated the amount of materials and labor needed for completion.

So, despite the very close proximity of the LA Fires, despite the smoke in the air causing burning in the lungs and tearing eyes, despite the 106 F heat and despite the tremendous shoulder et al pain Debbie has from her former treatments, Debbie was beside me painting the wood and hauling pieces of lumber back and forth. I was so grateful.

And tomorrow we head back for one more day together t0 try and finish. I won't be able to finish it myself, but if she helps, we stand a chance. We need to finish it because it is a 120 mile trek back and forth between our two houses and we mustn't take any more time.

The Bible says it well about being married:

Ecc 4:9 NKJV - Two [are] better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him [who is] alone when he falls, For [he has] no one to help him up.

Thank you, Debbie for lifting me up when I fell on this project!
