January 19

Yesterday I mentioned to Adam that the steps up to the upper deck in the yard needed some attention: they've been covered by these hard, prickly little vines that make it difficult for a few months now.

So I was gratified when, after a Home Depot and Costco run, he headed outside to remedy the problem. And I was even more gratified when Isaac changed his clothes and followed his dad out to help with the task.

I'm thankful to the two of them for sacrificing some of their holiday free time to address an issue I pointed out. And I'm grateful to God for forming servant's hearts within each of them.
