From Dirt to Concrete!

Our family recently inherited a trailer. It was daddy's family trailer, and as a little boy he spent many vacations in it. It was then passed on to our aunt(dad's sister) who kept it until recently.
She offered it to us because she was going to purchase another. We accepted the trailer and then began to pray: We had no place to store it.
Daddy was told by the city that he needed to store the trailer on concrete. But we did not have enough room on our driveway. So after alot of prayer, Daddy and Mama decided to lay concrete in between the garage and house. We very excitedly, took the trailer to a friend's, to store on their property until we could have the concrete put in.
Several things needed to happen in order for us to lay the concrete and after completeing those projects Daddy found a family buisness to lay the concrete.
The work began around 7:30 am
The work crew.
Now don't get the wrong idea. We don't usually go around letting strangers hold our babies. He was surprised I wanted to take their picture so as a joke he asked if I wanted the baby in the picture. I took him up on it. A baby always makes a cute picture. (They were really good workers and very repectful of our wishes.) The three on the right are Dad and sons.

Pouring the concreteIt was an interesting learning experience to see the steps involved in laying concrete.
Smoothing the concrete

After...................... (it's still drying)


Praise the Lord it's all done!



And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (KJV)
