Tuesday and so terrific

Wow what a day that was, not bad on the ground but way up on the top floor of the lodge whew was that some wind. We managed to get more rafters up and also helped Marcel start to work on the concrete plant. As we were moving the I beams into place Larry rammed into a pipe with his face and we had to baby him for a while but it worked and soon he was back to himself and hard at work.

Bexsons had more supplies for us and also Tracey had two like new over head doors to donate to the ranch. What a blessing today to have a welder like Marcel arrive with his truck to spend a few days and help us out. We are so blessed and thankful to all that help and donate to make the ranch all it can be.

Helping others brings good feelings to the giver and the reciever of the good deeds. Using your special gifts to help others can be a gift to yourself as you enjoy a self esteem boost for making others’ lives better, and make the world a better place. You feel more worthy of good deeds yourself, your trust in the decency of people is reinforced, and you feel more connected to yourself and to others. In fact, research shows that those who demonstrate more altruistic social interest tend to enjoy higher levels of mental health, above and beyond the practical benefits of receiving help and other known psychospiritual, stress, and demographic factors that you would expect.

Creating a balanced lifestyle that includes service to others can help you feel less stress as well, as you feel more connected to God, more grateful for what you have, and less invested in the ‘rat race’ that causes stress for so many of us.
