Gleefully Alive

My day started with a doctor's visit to review some test results. I am thankful for health insurance but discouraged that they will not cover the medication I need and there is no generic. I'll call tomorrow to talk with the insurance company. God will work it all out one way or another.

The true burden on my heart today is concern for my friends who are struggling with the news of five tumors invading his brain. Metastatic cancer. I have prayed most of last night and much of today but have not yet been led to fast.

My Tall Man was off work today. He has Mondays through Wednesdays off but is trying to pick up some extra hours. He is on the pick up list for tomorrow. We leave for our trip next Monday and we don't yet really have enough money. This graduation and the wedding of another grandchild in September are deeply important to us. We continue in prayer, trusting God will make a way.

My new Bank of America card came today. At first, we were hesitant to bank with such a large institution, always before having banked with small, home town banks with people we knew, but when we came to Florida a combination of circumstances led us to open an account at the B of A. Anyway, when I called to activate my new card, I spoke to a lady in Maine. We talked almost 45 minutes. I was able to share the Lord with her and, although she has not accepted Him yet, the seeds are planted and the lady is coming to Florida in July. She may look me up at the Holy Land Experience. God is so amazing!

I visited with son David, daughter-in-law Taunya and granddaughter Trudy this afternoon. What a blessing!

We had a beautiful, drenching rain this evening. We  were at the Dollar Tree and the rain came, so glorious to see and smell. I was so happy with it, I walked about in it for a bit.

I am gleefully thankful for a wonderful day of life.
