Sunday update
I've learned that I'll have 83 hours plus a little on my upcoming check from McD. That will be such a blessing! I am finally going to be able to really pay bills, get off food stamps, and make my way in this fallen world until such time as the Lord deems it right to take me home or step down from glory to gather his Bride to Himself - whichever comes first.
Early on I railed against the fact the widows in my age group have no recourse for financial support if their husbands didn't have life insurance. It still bothers me that a woman in my position, having cared for family her entire adult life and tried to always do right, is invisible to the eyes of those in authority - those whose job it is to aide people in dire circumstances. But perhaps in my case it wound up being a blessing in disguise. Now, my life has turned a corner for the better and I will have no need to lean on handouts. God has given me this job, which many might consider to be "small potatoes", but which has enabled me to rise from the mire of destitution.
Since my children are grown and Danny is gone, I no longer have the responsibilities at home that I had in years past. Yes, it's still my favorite place to spend time. It's my haven. Still, perhaps I can reach others for Christ while I'm "out there".
Because of the late hour last night at work, we wound up oversleeping this morning and missed church. We'll go this evening, then afterward will help close at work.
Working at Arbys those months I believe gave me more physical strength so that now I'm able to pretty well endure these longer hours. Yes, oh yes! I am still way tired when I get home. I have achy feet and legs. But I'm not totally wiped out to the point I can't function the next day.
I'm posting Bible studies over on Homeschoolzoo Annex. Pop over there using the link in the right menu column. These are studies I wrote sometime back. I hope they are a blessing to you. Just rereading them myself has reminded me of some things I think I'd forgotten. Good things. God things.
