Who's Helping Who??

I wanted to let you all know that I have been very fortunate to have a helper that has indeed been very helpful.

I have been thanked and blessed for having Jesse work with me and how much it is appreciated by many. I thank you all very much for them, but, I don't believe I am the one in need of thanks. I will thank all of you for being our friends and family who have helped me to see the true direction of my life and bring me here to meet all of you and Jesse.

I help Jesse learn in ways of building and moulding of inanimate objects, and dreams for some, but I ask you... who's helping who??

Jesse has been a pillar of strength for me in my world of disappointment and neglect. I speak of the "REAL WORLD". I have been getting beaten over and over by many close and not so close since making a decision to go on my own. I still believe it was a good decision. But, on the days I get beaten the worst, I am fortunate to know that my family is there waiting no matter the beating. I am also grateful for having Jesse at the helm for listening and ministering to me in those times. I find it odd that a man of nearly half my age, (I know I'm old) has the knowledge and understanding of men nearly twice MY age. It really helps me wind down before I get home and not hold on to all the aggressions that would normally be there from the lack of professionalism I am forced upon daily.

I am not the best in communications with my family, but I am getting better, and stronger in my faith due to one person who I believe is here to take care of me so that I can better take care of myself and family.

WHO'S HELPING WHO?? I believe I have the good end of the stick on this one.

Thank You,

Brian Hylland

God gives us all different talents. Isn't it wonderful how God allows His people to learn from each other when we bring to the table what we have to offer!?

Bless you Brian, Thanks for sharing.

Amen! We are always growing in our faith and being encouraged by those around us. How fun will it be next year to look back at the last year?! Hopefully we'll all have grown in the Lord. We are all one body... Thanks Brian!

What an example Brian, thank you for the reminder that we all need to take some time to appreciate those that make us better people. I really feel like the people of Hillside help us all to grow in the Lord, no matter how different we each are, we all love each other and spur each other on. What a blessing.
