Well it would appear that I am receiving a happy return or blessing. I run a Tree Service and have given a lot of wood away. This week I have run out of seasoned wood. We recently moved (July) in to a nice old home and since we did not know where we would end up I did not want to stock up a bunch of wood. So I asked a good friend of ours if we could purchase or trade them for some of the wood I gave to them almost two years back. The reply was "you do not owe anything just come get what ever you need." So I will go see what they have available. It is not easy for me to do this because I try to heat with wood, my friends do not so it is not such a big deal to them. I know that I need to receive graciously as that is what makes it a gift, but giving comes easier to me than receiving. I guess this is one of those moments in life where you grow a little... :-/
