Good morning SpyderLovers, friends and family ☕️ Im sitting here in my room at the Lake of the Ozarks counting my blessings. I have so much to be thankful for today and Im sure if you think about it long enough you do too. My day didnt start off that great as the day before the sewer line at the shop backed up again and after running 120 of snake we still didnt get it cleared. The rental yard next door isnt open on Saturday and we needed to get over there to the next clean out and continue to run the snake. I made some calls and I was able to get a guy to open up for us while we tried again. For that I was thankful. Ran the snake another 120 and wasnt able to break it loose. The plumber has another rig called a jetter that will run another 300 and power clean the line all the way to the street. Got that guy coming in on Monday. Told the rental guy we would be back with that rig and he said they had to do that on my line 5 or 6 years ago. That gave me hope and for that I am thankful. So I didnt get a shower that morning but I knew we were staying the night here after our ride and I could get a shower then and for that I am thankful. If the clog happened any other time I would have had to wait all weekend with no shower so I guess the timing was good even though it was not a great thing to happen at any time but Im hopeful this fix will last a lot longer than the three times before. It was good to hangout at the shop with the MOgang and get to know these folks a little better. They are a great group of people with a servants heart and thats the heart I want to have. Im convinced that you can become who you want to be by placing yourself with people you admire and look up to. Want to be a happy person? Find some happy people to hang with. Want to be a better giver? Hang with folks that give. Want to be an encourager? Hang with people that know how to encourage you. Want to be a blessing to others? Look for people that stand out as folks that serve and bless others. You can take all the bad things in life and pretty much say the same thing. If youre feeling hopeless, abused, worthless, ugly, helpless, powerless, angry, bitter, jealous, envious or just feel like crap you might need to run that snake down the line till you clean all that crap thats been building up for years. You might need to pick some new friends, new relationships and distance yourself from people that make you feel that way or do nothing to help build you into the person you really want to be. So today Im thankful I have some great folks Ill be hanging out with that I know will help me to be a better person than I was yesterday. Im thankful for the new relationships Im building now with folks I really didnt know much about before. Im thankful that some of these folks have shared some very intimate parts of their life in order to encourage me in my time of struggle. Ive learned so much about myself by listening to others and seeing how theyve coped with their demons. The people that have fought their way through and have found out that they were stronger than they ever thought they were, these are the folks I want to surround myself with and Im thankful and blessed to have such a great group of folks to pick from. How about you? Hope you have good friends that will be there for you when you need them the most and I hope that you will be that friend to them or others when the need arises and in this world it will. We all need someone we can lean on. I know we can lean on The Lord too and I do but not all my friends know The Lord but are still just as important to me. I love you guys and hope you have a wonderful weekend with friends and family that will lift you up or youre able to do the same for them. 😎🙏
