~The Referral That Keeps Going~

Good morning everyone! I hope you're doing wonderful. I hope you know how much my Father loves you. =) I am about to do my devotions this morning and have my coffee. I meant to post this last night and fell asleep early, I was tired. My husband did a job-the one in this photo. (He painted the exterior). Because "J & L" liked his work SO much they referred my husband to 4 other people in the same neighborhood!! So grateful God has given him this work. =) Then last night ANOTHER referral from this couple called for a touch up job on the fascia board for her home! My husband and I both want to give them something special for their help in getting these jobs but they definitely don't need/want our money and all they want is their cat back who passed away from a dog attack-which we can't give. We'll think of something I'm sure. Well, let me get to my devotions and I will be here on & off between other things. If you need prayers please let me know!! I was up praying for y'all again at 3am! Image is mine

Prepare a nice basket with home made cookies for Easter, this will not bring back their cat, but I am sure they will appreciate.

Maybe just some home made baked goods or something hand made by you and the kids. Most people would love something like that.

@LovingMyBabies I bet they would. Maybe even something like a flower in a hand decorated pot or something. Check Pinterest.

@LindaOhio You know i thought about that but it's so soon since theirs passed away that I didn't know if it was a good idea. Or if they even want another cat, you know?

Give them a nice assortment of home made goodies. I would think they would like that. Our cats on;ly go outside with us and come back inside with us. I do not want anything to happen to them. There is wild animals in the mountains only a mile away.

@jstory07 I do agree that they would appreciate that. =) They loved their fur baby so I'm sure there was good reason it was outside, even though I don't know the reason myself.

That's awesome that your husband is getting referrals. I like the idea of making a basket to show your appreciation. Anything you give I'm sure will be appreciated.

I'm so happy for your husband. Those referrals will spread and so will more job offers arrive!!! If possible, you could make a gift basket with fruits, cheeses, bread sticks, or even home baked goodies.

Aw thats so sad about their cat. Too bad you cant help with that. I do think the baked goods idea is a good one

@Courtlynn I know. I wanted to bless them with another cat but didn't know how they would react to that. Everyone's different when it comes to loss.

@LovingMyBabies Oh yes, gotta be careful with things like that. But I wonder if you guys could somehow mention it in a conversation. like asking them if they would want to someday have another, or something to sense if they'd be okay with getting one now or not.

It's sad that their cat passed away. Outdoors cats can be attacked.

Perhaps in time when they are ready, you could go to a shelter and find another kitty for them to love. It's nice that they are helping give job referals to your husband. Have a blessed day friend

That is very nice of them to refer your husband to others for work. I would think a homemade cookies or a small cake for a thank you to them.
