boy what a change
Well it always amazes me what prayer can accomplish. My brother was free from pain this a.m. with pain meds and able to walk. He was able to get into a pain clinic for tomorrow morning and as a result, they were able to postpone his surgery until at least April to build his immune system and so forth. There has been much rejoicing and prayers of thanksgiving around here. Not only that, but the part on my car that has 2 times burnt out was this time under a lifetime warranty and I will get reimbursed for it when I remove it and ship it back to the warehouse. My brother was also notified by the local garage that they were able to sell a car he had there and he will be getting the down payment this weekend. His girlfriend also got notice that by the end of next week she will receive fod stamps, a big relief for me since trying to keep them and my parents all in food was becoming almost impossible. It has been a day of neverending blessings!!!!
Not only that but I have nearly finished putting my kitchen back in order. Life is coming together in a wonderful way. I even hacve a birthday present waiting for me to open in the morning. My neice sent it home with me from Indiana and called tonight to see if I had been good and waited for my birthday. I was able to tell her that it was the first thing I plan to do in the morning - open the gift from her. It will make a sad day brighter. Steve always brought me Roses for my birthday and it seems like I miss him so much more on my birthday than at other times. I remember the first year we were married, he made me a birthday cake from scratch. It was a white cake with a coarse texture and it was the best cake I ever had. Each year after that he would always make me a cake. After that though he used a cake mix - he said it just made sense to make something edible.
Well, tomorrow will be busy at least - have to get up, go get the tag for the car and take my neighbor for chemo and then get back to continue the house cleaning.
I am so lucky to have people who care about me and I appreciate them more with each passing day. So, my friends are the best birthday gift I could have ever recieved.
