More house projects

James 2: 15-16 says "Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?" This verse is talking about faith and deeds but a couple weekends ago I was able to appreciate it for another reason. Since Ben is gone a lot of people have said they're there for me whenever I need something. As kind as that is, sometimes those words fall flat. But not always.

Two of Ben's friends from high school offered to come over one Saturday afternoon to help me with any yard projects I may have. Ben and I had begun a yard project before he left but didn't finish it and I was too overwhelmed with maintaining the rest of the house to tackle it. I appreciated so much the help they did so that I (with the help of Kyle digging the hole for the trees I wanted to plant) could finally complete another project in our backyard. Here is a picture of the finished project:
Also, because of this great weather we had I was able to finally paint the trim around my new windows. Don't they look great?
