God is good all the time!

Last week began with Rob coming home with walking pneumonia on Monday. So needless to say he was out of work all week. His co-workers kidded him all day today about possibly having to send him his last will and testament. But as much as I hated Rob being sick last week, I did treasure our time together. Although, I think he would have perferred different circumstances. By friday he was still running fever so back to the doctor he went. He came out with a new perscription and a coupon for it. When the doctor gives you a coupon you know that the price of the drug is not going to benefit the checkbook very well. So of course we being newlyweds don't have a lot of extra cash lying around. So in my mind I am trying to figure out how we are going to swing two doctors visits and LOTS of medicine( that was previously perscribed during the first doctor's visit that didn't help one bit) and now the new medicine. Well we go to the pharmacy to pick up the new medicine and it was $58 ( for ONLY 5 pills) and that was after a $25 off. Wow.... I was like this better be a miracle drug, which it was. He was better within 24 hrs so it was totally worth it. But the most humbling thing was when I went to the mailbox that day we recieved a letter from the gas company. I quickly came inside and asked Rob "did you overpay the gas company?" He quickly replied " Nope, I just paid what they said we owed". Well the letter was to inform us that we had overpaid our last bill. Attached was a check for $58. WOW!! I say God will provide all the time, but it was so amazing just to feel him smiling at me and saying "you worried and I told you I would always take care of you."
So by Saturday Rob was feeling well enough to do light house work with rest periods. How much our house transformed this weekend. First of all it is completely clean with the exception of the basement. But isn't everyone's basement unorganized? Anyway that will come next off week. I even go to clean up the yard. It is all ready for spring plants! Mom is already planning where things will go.
Right now my life is truly a blessing! Day by day I am seeing the Lord's provisions for me and my family. I just pray that I will seek humility and don't become jaded to His will.
