Just a THANK YOU! But a deserved THANK YOU

I was raised to say "THANK YOU".

When someone does something nice for you or someone offers to do a nice thing for you, you should say "THANK YOU". It's not about attention or putting people out there or whatever hang ups people might have. It's about being courteous and say "THANK YOU".

Kevin and I were supposed to leave Calgary on June 16th after the closing of our house sale. Bruce and Joanne had kindly offered to put us up for the Friday night so we could head out of Okotoks early the next morning on our way to Newfoundland.

Our lawyers were late in requesting the pay out information of our mortgage to our mortgage company and so we were delayed. Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. We felt like people who were left out on a limb because we had no home, we didn't have the money in our account we waited for, and we were now overstaying our welcome. We felt lost! It was stressful and the first couple of days went okay, it started to take it's toll on us by the rest of the time.

Kevin and Bruce went and played golf. We all went out for dinner one night. We did what we could to chip in and not be BURDENS. I know it was hard on Joanne having to come home so early some evenings I mean, it's hard to come home before 9 pm from work.. (ha ha).

Bruce and Joanne were kind enough to let us stay there and we felt they deserved some recognition for allowing us to remain there that long. After all they say that HOUSEGUESTS wear out their welcome by the 3rd day. So we had REALLY worn it!

And so, we thank you very much for your HOSPITALITY, your KINDNESS and you know sometimes when life gets hard, you will get a blessing to come your way for doing nice things for others. It was one of the things he told us to do, "DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE DONE UNTO YOU". I pray your blessing has come to you or is on the way for your kindess to Kevin and I.

Thank you again!

GOD BLESS!

Kevin and Wanda
