God works in amazing ways. This tree came down in a tornado that ripped through our countryside back in May. Our house was not damaged. One of the large oak trees in the front yard took a direct ht and it literally looked like it tried to leap hands first to hit the house but came up short. It was blocked by what looked like the hand of God as one of the tips of a large branch was touching the bathroom window but did not break it. The remainder of the crown of the tree was wrapped around the house as if the tree's numerous arms were trying to grab the house but just missed.
I was not looking forward to the work that had to be done to safely remove the tree away from the house as it still posed a legitimate danger to the house as it was propped up precariously by a section of the children's playscape.
We had a garage/yard sale recently and one of our kind neighbors, Bob Main, came over and said he could help move the tree away from the house with our truck and some heavy duty metal chains. I had doubts on the potential for success but he really sounded confident that it could be done. So we attached the chains and he took the wheel and here is the video that shows it all. My wife and children were obviously excited about the ordeal. Good times deep in the heart of Texas!
Everyone needs neighbors with hearts like Bob Main! We are blessed as a family for sure.
