Giving Thanks

My daughter started high school this week.  My biggest concern was how to get her there and back without having to spend the whole day in the car since I can’t get into my wheelchair and back into the house alone.  Well, fortunately, she’s at a very family oriented school that sent out an email on my behalf letting everyone know the situation.  I got a call from a family who lives just down the road that wanted to help.  I was so thankful!  They are from Long Island, NY and he is a retired NYC police officer and she’s the typical Italian, New Yorker kind of mom. They have a 5th grader and a sixth grader at Alexa’s new school, plus an exchange student from the Chech Republic who is a senior.

It was enough that they would transport Alexa, but God is good about giving us beyond what we can ask or imagine.  I was told immediately that I had been adopted and to just give up because I was stuck with them!  They don’t seem to be the least bit phased by this crazy family of mine.  That’s the miraculous part!  I think by the end of the year there will be grooves in the road between our houses because they’re here so much!

It’s been a very busy and long week, and God has been faithful again.  He’s answered my prayers for transportation for Alexa, help for me and friends/family who are willing to live in community all in one shot.  I can’t complain!

^{Matthew 7:7} Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

   ⁸ for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
