12 Blessings from North Carolina

The majority of the move was now complete. Thanks to our first class team of movers, the majority of our belongings now resided in Culpeper. And so as we looked towards turning our home over to the new owners and the dust began to settle, we realized that a significant cleaning operation was looming on the horizon. How could this be overcome? The answer – 12 Blessings from North Carolina. Though they had to of been wearied after a week of intense work in service to their Grandmother living in upstate New York, the Neely Team offered to invest themselves into our family. Furthermore, our home was lacking furniture and other usual comforts of hospitality but this did not bother the Neely Team. They arrived with gracious, energy giving spirits and hearts ready to serve.
Following a scrum-dilly-licious breakfast Saturday morning, vacuums roared to life, spray bottles began to discharge, paper towels scrubbed, and dust began to disappear. Dirty nooks and crannies from top to bottom were identified, attacked, and eliminated. Windows began to sparkle, trim to glisten, and bathrooms to squeak. A task of ponderous proportions was promptly performed with an overflowing abundance of joy, laughter, and fellowship.
After much diligence, the two teams rallied to the vans for a trip to Culpeper and a tour of the construction sight and our temporary housing.
Grandpa and Grandma along with a couple cousins, blessed us with their presence later on that evening when we had a birthday celebration for Kathryn, Jessica, Grandma, Joshua, Kenan, and Sarah.
The day came to a fitting close as everyone sang and praised our Lord and Savior around the pianos.
Thank you Neely Team for blessing our home!
I whole heartily agree that the Neely Team was a blessing in our home. We love you all very much!
