My gratitude to Jesus for friends and family who care so deeply that they sacrifice energy, resources, and time to assist those they love is great. Paintbrushes in hand, smiling mouths, and eager-to-work able-bodied individuals somehow demonstrate a depth of love and compassion more so than many demonstrative acts I can think of.

Jesus is so aware of our needs and how we cannot do it all on our own. We need Him most importantly and foremost, but we also need and require the support and teamwork of those in our lives who can encourage, motivate, and deliver when necessary. Thanks to those in my life and my family's life who are this beautiful act of love to us. You are priceless and cherished.
