Blessings in the mailbox


Today I got a letter from my cats' vet. I did not look forward to opening it, because I recently missed an appointment and figured it was a bill for the missed appointment.

Boy was I wrong! It was an $83 check! Over a year ago they had double billed me and I caught the mistake, so they credited my account. I would have rather had the money back instead of the credit, but they said they couldn't do that.

But honestly, getting this check in the mail right now is a HUGE blessing. I was sick for a few weeks last month and wasn't able to work, so I have no money at the moment. (That and I'm still waiting for about $1,000 that Stanford owes me from last year...long story)

Amazing how the Lord provides for us when we most need it. Sure, you can look at it and say it was always my money from the beginning. But I'm choosing to look at it like I have been praying for help and the Lord answered my prayers. And let's face it, it's always a fun surprise to find money in the mail!

Tithing is one of the most aMaZiNg principles of the gospel in my opinion!

That is so cool! And...why we pay tithing. I feel your pain...in the $ department. Until August 28th..we're students, too.

Bless the broken hearted! Yes, I believe you gave credit where credit was due, and the Lord will see your gratefulness and continue to bless you. Have a great day, all of you.
