"Love and warmth are created in the home, but character and strength are created in a barn."
In our little piece of the world, Mr. P and I have taken on a barn raising.
Now, traditionally a barn raising would be scheduled for a weekend and many of the town men would help in the event. After Sunday service all would gather at the building site and work until dark to complete as much as possible on the barn. If not all, most of the work would be completed so that the farmer could use the barn in a very short period of time...this is not one of those kind of barn raisings.
Ours started back in early November and is still being worked on. My husband is just one man. Though he may have the strength of 3, the shoulders of 4, the determination of a warrior and the heart of a saint, he is still one man. This is a project like no other that we have taken on. God has blessed us though! Mr. P's brother, a friend, and my brother have been huge in getting us to the stage that it is at now! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your help!
Sunday, Mr. P and I worked on putting the metal on the sides. YAY!!!!!!!! Finally we can see the end!!!! Once the first side was finished, we sat back, (literally we sat in the shade) and looked at our progress. Job well done!
3 sides, a roof, 2 doors, and driveway left to go...yes the end is in sight!
Soon our red roof barn will be complete (and pictures will come too).....and dedicated (posting coming on that very soon!)
God is so good!
