Big hearted people
We all know that there are the Mr. Sewers in this world. People who just don't care about anyone or anything except themselves. On the flip side, because of Jeds illness, we have met so many wonderful, gracious, loving and caring people. One of them was the man we called to fix a leak on an addition we had put on our house. For some reason the person who put the addition on, forgot to do something when he put the flashing on. He got old and ill and wasn't able to fix it, so we called a man that Kristins father knew from eating at a restaurant (Lions Pride). This man didn't really know us. He came and looked at the roof and told us what it needed. Being that the problem was three stories up it was something I couldn't do and would be pretty expensive. As we talked to the man we told him about Jed. This person asked if he could talk to Jed. We said sure. Jed was in his room and not feeling to good. The man then asked if he could pray with Jed and for Jed. Again we said sure, why not. We would take any good energy to help Jed. The man left and we said thank you for coming out and thank you for caring about Jed. About three days later this truck pulled up and two men knocked on the door. They said they were there to see if they could fix the roof. They were able to fix it enough to stop the leaking when it rained which was huge. The last thing we needed was for the work we had done to be ruined by water leaking in. I asked what I owed them and they said nothing and that their boss sent them out and he pays them. They were there about five hours. Later on when Jed was in the hospital this same man dropped $500.00 into a can that Lions Pride had set up for Jed during Christmas. I know this mans name but he wanted to remain anonymous. I can never thank this man enough. Not because he gave us money and time, but because he cared enough about Jed and Kristin to help make their life a little less worrisome. Thank you. Now Lions Pride is another story that I will write about next time.
