Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

Unsung Hero's

These are the people that go about helping others without boasting, they work quietly among us and never ask for compensation. I have been blessed by many unsung hero's throughout this ordeal and as I have sat and watched them work and give it their all I wonder what I can ever do to repay them for all their kindness. I ask the Lord to pour out the richest blessings upon them.
Throughout this whole trial one of my sisters has been consistently by my side helping me wherever, however, and whenever she can. She has multiple needs herself and I wonder how I can best fulfill some of her needs. She has been out here helping me again since the thunderstorm scattered debris from a cottonwood all over the yard.
It has left a huge mess and we have worked the past two days to clear it. Tonight the lawn looks much better! I have put up with the messes from that tree for 24 years. Most years I have cleaned the mess up by myself but the last two or three Beatrice has been right by my side helping me. We both agree that that tree needs to come down. It is getting to be too much for the two of us to handle. We found the name of the outfit that removed some of the trees out of her yard a few years back and gave the owner a call. He will be out on Saturday to take a look at the monstrosity. I'm sure it won't be cheap to take it down and some how I'll have to try to save up to do so but that is one expense that I think will be well worth it as it literally hangs over our heads and the house.
