Where would we be without the Hinrichs to take our kids overnite so that we can get up early and go to our Industry Tradeshow and training classes in Milwaukee tomorrow?
Where would we be without BJ going in to work on a Sunday, in -30 something degree weather , to build us a hydrualic hose on our flatbed that broke while we were towing a car?
Where would we be without Chris H. and Cliff, on the same day to come in and fix the broken hose?
Where would we be without friends like the Kooiman family, that willingly took in our kids when both Dan and I were working during the cold/ice/snow until who knows when on a school night, then goes above and beyond to bring us a delicious homecooked meal WITH dessert? (Dan still can't figure out how Matt stays so slender)
Where would we be without Shelli to take the kids after school even beyond the hours expected of her when we got unexpected amounts of snow or need a fill-in last minute on volleyball night (then shower us with Valentine's Day goodies)?
Where would we be without J&J's to be our "personal kitchen" while we work who knows how many hours throughout the week?
Where would we be without Cliff and Vi to take the kids whenever we ask and to go get parts whenever needed?
Where would we be without hard-working employees to make changes for the best of the companies--even on birthdays, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day (Happy Birthday, Jon, Joe; Happy Anniversary Tracy (& Chris) & Cliff & Vi!!)
Where would we be without Josh & Joe to fill in when we are induted with towing, going so far as to risk their lives? Or Jon and Rod to do the same beyond the hours they are expected to?
Where would we be without understanding friends that volunteer their time for time that cannot be volunteered (even though I am missing the kids at school and my time there like crazy?)
Where would we be?
I'm glad I don't have to find out.
Psalm 107:8 (New International Version)
8 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for men,
