Friday - A Day To Rejoice

Rebekah is spectacular today! She is energetic, happy, not complaining about anything (except doing what mom and dad ask her to do), etc. Daddy and Rebekah got to go out and do some errands this afternoon and Rebekah got to drive the truck around the field for a while. Oh to have every day be like today for her.

But that is not the only reason to rejoice. I just have to share some of the things that have all happened today - the combination of which has reduced me to tears as I write this. They may be mostly material things, but we have those needs as well.

Let me first start by telling you that Cousin Jodi, without any prompting just sent me this verse: Phillipians 4:19...."And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Well, let's see how true that has been JUST TODAY:

-Rebekah is doing so great.
-Our friend Mindy who has been SO helpful had enough of a break in her busy schedule to be able to stop by and have coffee this morning.
-The windows necessary to complete the next step of the remodel arrived (and Don Burnett who is helping us put it all together is available tomorrow to work on them).
-Rebekah and I were able to go to Lowe's and purchase the door and heater for the remodel with a gift card graciously given to us.
-The Our Place Church crew that is comming tomorrow to build Rebekah's play structure blossomed from 3-5 people to 14.
-The only time in the next week that there will not be heavy rains is the time scheduled to build the play structure.
-Two new unexpected clients called today.
-U.S. Bank in Ohio went from not being able to find Rebekah's Trust account yesterday (preventing anybody from making any deposits) to all of a sudden having it be totally available.

And the last thing that just rendered us speechless a few minutes ago: A friend was shopping at Mattress World and happened to mention what they had seen on the BLOG a few days ago - that we need a bed in good condition. The man they were talking to was a cancer survivor himself and without any hesitation at all declared that Mattress World will be meeting that need with a brand new mattress and box springs.

Folks, God is good. We thank each and every one of you SO much for what you have done for us and we thank God for making it all possible. Please continue to pray that the miracles continue not only because of, but directly on Rebekah.
