Getting Stronger as the HAY TEAM
What makes a team thrive? Well, I know that a tree only grows stability through the hard storms. I know that rose bushes only grow with much pruning. So, the same holds true for a family. A team. Those hard times, those conflicts; they all are so necessary for growth to occur.
Now, we have a choice of course when struggle occurs. We can chop down the tree, cut down the rose bush, or we can run away from our families. OR, we can talk it out and thrive. Sure, it may hurt at first, just like the pruning shears don’t feel so great, but in the end, you have a blossoming, fruit-filled, bushy tree or plant.
Such was the other day. Tatum had a tough morning with learning to be a leader in a kind, humble way, and her words did not reflect who she really is. Daddy and I had to have a meeting with her later. It was a wonderful conversation, and Daddy even gave her a lovely card. I love how his heart is so geared to growth and especially love.
She does have a heart of gold, a beautiful smile, a repentant and contrite spirit, and ….well, I know she is growing in HIM every day. I love how our family works.
We are forming our team every day. With Christ as our center, nothing can break us apart.
I love you HAY team. And thank you Daddy for being our ROCK too. XO
My mom got vaccinated! Goodbye COVID
Today was the big day! You had to call and schedule and appointment, and only front line workers and people over 65 can be vaccinated right now. So I told her I would drive her over to the parking lot area that is doing drive-through vaccines.
We got there about 15 minutes early and drove through the designated cones.
Then, they asked my mom some questions, and we were directed to our shot locale! Easy peazy really.
The lady came over to our car, but first a nurse went through potential side effects. Basically none because there is only ingredients such as Miralax (whatever is in that) lipids and other natural fillers. Zero allergens, so my mom was thrilled.
She gently pierced my mom’s arm and VOILA it was finished.
She said she didn’t even feel it. What she did feel was this delicious lolly that she received. Some sanitizer too as parting gifts. Not a bad deal!
Now, we wait for 30 minutes in the parking lot just in case there is a reaction.
So far she feels great and not even a sore arm. We return in 3 weeks for the same shot same dose. Same bat time, same bat channel.
Amen! So grateful!
