Several months ago, our neighborhood got hit with large hail which did plenty of damage to the houses. Since then, we have seen and heard roofs being replaced just about every day. Today we had a great view of a house undergoing it’s restoration. My mom loves watching what is going on and we usually watch outside sitting on the porch. However, today mom was having a rough time getting around. So, I set her up in the wheelchair with a wonderful view out the front door. She sat for much of the afternoon and watched and commented on their progress. I was reminded of her story of her grandfather. He lived with her family when she was a child. He only spoke and understood German. My mom said he would sit for hours and look out the window watching the activity of the busy street. Mom very much enjoyed her afternoon being entertained by the roofers and I think it was calming for her in some way.

I Found God today watching my mom enjoying watching.
