September 30 – “ten bucks is ten bucks …”

Remember that rain we never really got much of?  It arrived.  In bushels.  It did come in waves, so we weren’t stuck in the house all day, watching the dreary weather with pining and sighing.  So what did we get done?

 

Well, I had a coupon that I got for being in the Coastal Conservation Association.  Ten dollars off on any purchase at Academy.  Basically, a ten dollar gift card.  I also had one that was twenty dollars off, but you had to spend a hundred dollars to use it.  And another that was a hundred dollars off if you spent five hundred dollars.  Those two I consider actual coupons.  But ten bucks is ten bucks.  And it expired today, so we had to use it or lose it.  So what in the world could we get for ten bucks?  We looked around a little bit for something for Luke’s birthday.  We weren’t sure what sport he was currently into, though.  That kid can pick up just about any sport he wants and be great at it.  We finally settled on something for the church.  We found some ping pong paddles and balls so the kids can hang out and play.  Now we have to figure out the best place to set up the table …

 

Last night we took some supper up to LaMarque for Kel’s family.  Christina has been chasing down all the alternative therapies she can find to go along with what her doctor is doing to help her deal with the Covid in her system.  Kel says she seems to be getting better.  After we got home we got a text from Micah.  He was thanking us for the food.  He said it was great and he hoped there would be “enough for tomorrow.”  Chris was beaming, of course.  We both were.  Not just at the complement, although Chris always appreciates it when someone likes her food.  We were also proud that Micah thought enough to say thank you.  Nice job, Young Man.

 

Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

 

Father, please continue to heal Christina quickly so she can get back to caring for her family.  And be with her family as the tables are turned and they have to care for her.  Amen.
