Thankfulness

We have been needing to make some house repairs, but have been unsure about which repairs are absolutely necessary and which are most important. So for several months I have been praying that God would show me what decision to make. Finally I felt like it was to be "Under the House Repairs". I made the call to a guy who had been recommended last fall, and he came out Wednesday to look it over. Thursday I went to the bank to make a deposit. When I got home Hubby told me the amount of the repair- it was $100 less than what my deposit now made our account. God had supplied the money right when it was needed. And it wasn't regular money either; it was Easter money from our folks, winnings from a contest, and a late payment from a student.
So yesterday's thankfulness was God's faithfulness to communicate with me and to provide exactly what I need.

I was quite busy yesterday and didn't get to post, so here is an extra thankfulness for you...
#1 volunteers at a radio station to read the local paper to the blind in the area. Yesterday was his turn and I dropped him off, expecting to come home and finish some of my chores before picking him up again. I was nearly home when he called to say I might as well come back; he couldn't contact the director, the paper had been stolen, and the reader that was to help didn't show up. Instead of bailing him out, I bought another paper and went to help him.
I was, at first, irritated that my schedule was being trifled with, but quite quickly found a blessing in it. I am VERY able to stop and read the paper any time my head takes a notion to, but so many people do not have that ability. Either they can't see, can't read, or can't afford it. What a blessing it was to be able to help those less fortunate to have an opportunity to hear the local news. Thank you God for everyday blessings that I don't even think about.

And on that note, I would like to ask prayers for a special little baby born about a week ago. Asa was born without eyelids. The MRI shows that he does have eyes, so perhaps surgery is a possibility, though whether he has sight in the eyes is unknown at this time. Please pray that God will give Asa a chance to see this beautiful world that He made for us.
