Thursday.
Not Funny.
We woke up to a surprise 3-4 more inches of snow covering a layer of ice. Again.
Some grandchildren had a 2 hour delay. One grandchild's school was cancelled due to the parking lot being a sheet of ice.
I am not sure, but I think this makes the 1,000th snow day or delay since January.
I worked in the church office which makes a tricky juggling to get some on a bus that arrives when I am supposed to be unlocking the office. The new hours are going to have to be set back 15 minutes on snow delay days.
Meanwhile. I called the woman from Monday who was out of our area. I had given her a list of resources and wanted to check on her due to her desperation.
She had followed through with all my suggestions, two organizations have gone together to pay her rent. Another organization gave her two gas cards so she could go to her job interview today and have gas to start work. Another organization (or maybe a nice person who has some gift cards in their wallet) gave her a $25 drug store gift card. She told me when she was getting ready for the interview she realized she was out of deodorant. She was able to stop on the way and purchase some. AND she got the job! I am so happy, she is so happy, we were both crying happy tears.
Thank you for posting good news about the lady you helped. She sounds like a go getter, good for her.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Miss Merry, but your 1000th snow day comment made me chuckle--it's been a rough winter. That was wonderful to read about the woman you've been working with & helping. That deodorant statement alone, geez I take so much for granted... how is your son-in-law with the former long covid condition doing? I keep having relapses (in the middle of one since 2-3 days ago, a real bummer). I hope he's well.
ReplyDeleteBe careful on the ice, hopefully it will melt! Great that the lady found some help and got a job.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the lady was helped and got the job!
ReplyDeleteOh, the snow and ice just have to be done!
ReplyDeleteBut what great news on the lady you were helping. You made a huge difference in her life!
So glad your Client fared so well, it is some Positive News about someone needy getting the help they desperately needed. Snow and Ice, do not like it, do not miss it.
ReplyDeleteOh to hear a little bit of good news is so good after all that is horrid out there.
ReplyDelete1,000 snow day! LOL!
That's a lot of snow days!! It's good to know the woman got some help and then got a job. There are good people.
ReplyDeletePraise the Lord, for your answer to prayer for this lady.
