Answered prayers are unexpected blessings. This Sunday was just about that. ---------- Recent realizations about family have been a cause of worry for me these past few days. I've lost some sleep over it. I've prayed hard about it. But, Sunday lunch was a testament of God's answer to my prayers. It is far from resolved. But, we will get there eventually. A lot of good came from patience, understanding, compassion and humility. ------------ A visit to my in-laws also proved to be a blessing, too. I've been meaning to purchase a new phone, to replace my 3 year-old one. But, we've been gifted with a very good unit. I believe my savings will remain just as it is. I wasn't expecting this and it feels great to be on the receiving end once in a while.
