Labor Day
Labor Day: A time for the beach, the lake, or just recouping from a little College football action. For a group of people in Arlington, it was a day to say "we love you and we want to show it". Family, church family, & friends, showed up in full force to help out a Commons Family in a time of need.
Last week, the Green home had the unexpected happen.., a car crash. Scott (Dad) & Gabe (oldest son) were heading out to go fishing when the car spun out of control on a wet, curvy road. Scott had extensive damage to his leg including cracked pelvis, dislocated hip, torn ligaments, and knee damage. Gabe on the other hand only had a few scratches. Scott's injuries demanded a few surgeries and a lot of bed time to completely recover. In saying this, loved ones wanted to reach out and help Scott & Diana (wife) somehow, someway.
Kristin Hall, a member of The Commons, rallied friends and family via e-mail to help do an "extreme makeover" to the Green home. The idea was to clean, cut, organize, and do whatever we can, so Diana & family can focus on a full recovery. So all Labor Day, people did whatever they could service-wise to help.
It was cool for me to see all the different people come and help out, no questions asked & no "Can't believe I'm missing my Labor Day" attitudes. It was all smiles, laughter, & love. It was cool to seeing people from the Commons jump on an opportunity to reach out to others in a time of need. It was a great Labor Day.
