January 14 – “Plus three”

We have some great home renovation news.  Our hall bathroom shower finally works like it is supposed to.  After I have no idea how many years, we can finally switch between shower and bathtub once again.  The tiny little diverter piece that does the switching was stuck tight, so the plumber had to come out and saw the whole three-fauceted section out and replace it with a brand new one.  Not something I would have attempted on my own, that’s for sure.  Still not sure how much the charge will be, but our shower works again.  Plus.

To celebrate we decided to head into Texas to visit Jennifer in the hospital.  She is still on IV antibiotics, but they (read here “the insurance company”) have decided that she qualifies to go straight into a rehab facility.  That is really good news.  Of course the first one they contacted promised the moon, then at the last minute told her they didn’t have a room after all.  While we were there, though, a different company rep arrived to welcome her to their facility.  It’s farther away (Memorial City) but sounds like a really nice place.  They will take care of everything, including transfers and trips to the doctor as well as physical and occupational therapy.  Oh, and her insurance covers it all.  100%.  Sounds like a real win to me.  Plus. 

I was even able to swing by my doc’s office and grab some medication they had for me.  and we stopped by Lifeway Book Store on the way home to get some more birthday cards.  After all that we decided to take Jennifer’s recommendation to heart.  We stopped for supper at Cracker Barrel.  Gotta love those fried chicken livers.  Plus.

1 Peter 5:14 says, “Greet one another with a kiss of love.  Peace to all of you who are in Christ.”

Father, thank you for Jennifer’s good news.  Kind of makes our plumbing win pale in comparison, but hey, why not rejoice in all things?  I guess that might sound familiar to you, huh?  Amen.
