I suppose you have noticed….the nature of life…life is full of problems.
We returned home earlier this week to find the air conditioning unit not functioning. Fortunately, the fix was an easy one–new fan motor and relatively inexpensive (as AC repairs go!).
Jan’s car stopped last month–then it started up again. After driving the car several hundred miles, the repair shop did not identify any problem. We picked it up and have driven it another hundred miles. But Jan is not very comfortable with the idea of driving it very far–especially since the trip to her mother’s involves some areas of southeast Oklahoma where cell phone service is not available. Time to look for a different car.
The house insurance bill came. The annual premium did not go down. It went up quite significantly. At least the due date is still a month away.
Basic, routine medical checkups this year have bumped up our medical costs–Jan says we are only $500 from meeting our high deductible. That sounds like a “good news, bad news” statement to me. Good news is that future costs (few anticipated) will not involve so much out-of-pocket. Bad news is that we have spent a lot out-of-pocket in this calendar year.
I suppose you have noticed….the nature of life…life is full of blessings.
We were warmly received last evening at church after a four-week absence. We are blessed with a wonderful church family–in fact, we are blessed with multiple church families who love us and care for us.
We arrived home safely on Monday after about 1000 miles and 16+ hours of driving.
The evening and early morning temperatures have moderated–the attic fan is pulling in fresh, cool air this morning, and the morning walk was invigorating.
We are able to pay the house insurance premium.
God blesses us with opportunities to make a difference through ministry and missions.
Life is not perfect. Life is what you make of it. The most meaningful life is focused on something beyond life here on planet Earth.
