Don't lose any opportunity, however small, of being gentle toward everyone. Don't rely on your own efforts to succeed in your various undertakings, but only on God's help. Then rest in his care of you, confident that he will do what is best for you, provided that you will, for your part, work diligently but gently. I say "gently" because a tense diligence is harmful both to our heart and to our task and is not really diligence, but rather over eagerness and anxiety...I recommend you to God's mercy. I beg him, through that same mercy, to fill you with his love. - Francis de Sales

a real fixer-upper

This is Trish's grandmother's old homeplace.
It seems Cousin Eddie is going to turn it into a hunting shack.
We think it should be our summer home or a retreat center. I
t can be done! The roof, rafters and foundation are great.
It just needs some help.
That's all.
