Snow fell during the night and into the morning, blanketing everything with a gorgeous layer of wet snow that clung to every wire in every fence and every branch on every tree. Breathtakingly beautiful...also breathtaking in another way, since it was a very heavy snow and shoveling it was literally breathtaking exercise! :)
Dad called this morning to tell us our mailbox had been knocked down, perhaps by a snow plow, so Jeff went across the road where our mailbox is to fix it. He tried to screw it back into the post, but when that didn't work, resorted to nailing it in--mission accomplished. He also saw that the mailbox of our neighbor who lives across the road had been knocked off (our mailboxes share a post) and had actually been more damaged than ours. So Jeff set to work fixing it for them and got it back on the post and ready to receive mail.
I was so impressed that he had taken the extra time and effort to put their mailbox up; and when I told him that, he said, "I COULDN'T just fix ours and not fix theirs, too." Oh!...you couldn't?...a lot of people could have and would have...people in this world of ours don't always take the time to lend a helping hand...most don't really love their neighbor as themselves.
Anyway, good for you, Schmu (yeah, cute nickname, huh? for those of you reading along, that's one of my nicknames for Jeff)...you've really impressed me today with your heart to serve!
