Meanwhile, around the greenhouses, we helped with the endless jobs of...
Untangling plants
Hauling plants
Cleaning plants
Selling plants
Restocking plants
And even shopping for plants ourselves!
It can be worth the extra allergies, pain, and exhaustion to spend time with family. (I recently read a comment by another "chronic girl" about how we sometimes choose to do things that are hard on the body but good for the soul.)
And there is encouragement in looking back after all the effort to realize that Elsa and I have come somewhere from the years when being on our feet, interacting with customers and crunching numbers would have been utterly impossible for a minute - let alone the couple hours a day for which God gave the strength this year.
Broken bodies can showcase God's gifts!
