Daily Blessings #'s 1, 2, & 3

Well, I blew it. Again. I forgot that I was supposed to start my friend, Lori's, Thankfulness Challenge on November 1. So, without further ado, here are days 1 - 3:

1. One of our utility bills' monthly budget payment was set to nearly double. We were able to pay off what we owed them, but still the monthly payment was to be $47 higher than it had been. Today we called to make sure our large payment had been credited to our account, which it had, and the woman Phil spoke with told him that the new budget amount would be 0nly $17 more than what we had been paying. Hooray!

2. Our dear friends, Luke & Jennifer, had their first baby on Monday - a little girl named Aubrey Grace.

3. We decided to get someone to plow snow for us this year; with both of our daughters working, and both Phil and me dealing with health issues, it seemed a good idea, even though we'd have to come up with the money. But before Phil could call the man we'd decided to go with, we received a call from someone else who told us that he found a note in his door today saying that they would be paying the cost for him to plow for us! We have received several anonymous gifts this year, and are so humbled and thankful for them. God is so good!
