Answered Prayer

We've been busy today.  I had a doctor's appointment at 9 and then went back to town half an hour after getting home to take the boys to the physical therapist.

We'd been blessed to get in...and there were two back to back time slots still open.  They'd had a rough weekend as far as pain goes, Daniel especially.  It seemed an answer to prayer when they had available times that worked with our day.  When I mentioned it to the PT, he agreed that it was an answer to prayer.  He'd been wondering all weekend why they hadn't made sure to fill those appts at the beginning of the week when the rest of the week was booked.

I know a lot of people that scoff at God and call nearly everything a coincidence.  They are welcome to maintain that attitude.  It doesn't change what I know to be true; Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and concerns.  He knew that we were going to have a rough weekend and provided a way for us last week to get help this morning.  We had been praying for the boys and the prayers were answered beautifully.

Right now, we are getting ready for Chad to get home because he is going to turn around and head back to Hagerman with the kids tonight.  They have been looking forward to it all day!  It is spud harvest here so the kids are out of school for two weeks.  I am going in for a little same day surgery in the morning and now I won't have to worry about the kids home alone.  It will be nice to know that I don't have to worry about how I feel when I get home, too.  I can just go to bed if I need to!

Chad's parents are going to keep the kids during the day while he is at work.  They are giving me a great gift!  Just thinking of how I will use my quiet time is lifting my spirits.  :)  We're hoping to make it to Thursday before the kids come back, but we'll see if they only make it to Wednesday.  Either way, I will enjoy myself.

I have plans for a hot bath tonight.  I should get to bed early, but I never seem to make it.  I only have myself to answer to!  Maybe I'll find that missing library book this week.
