I don't have much time at all, but I thank God that He is good all the time! I really need to get to bed, but I realized that I had not updated today. We've had a rough several days with Emma's being quite sick. She has bronchitis and an ear infection as well as asthma and allergy symptoms. We've not had a good night's sleep since last Thurs. Even in this, God is good and has given the grace and strength needed.
We have dear friends flying in tomorrow from MI, and we are so excited! A fun-filled week is planned for all. Our money is tight with medical bills piling up for me with the upcoming surgery and appts./labs for that and now with Emma's urgent care visit and prescriptions. We wondered what and how much we could do with our friends this week. Well, God provided in a surprising and awesome way today. I found out that our church family here is paying for us to upgrade our Disney passes and take our friends to Disneyland. We had said we would not be able to go because these two weeks of April we have blockout dates on our passes. Wow! What a gift and blessing! This was not a need by any means, but our God even delights in giving us desires that are just for fun. How humbling! We prayed with the girls and thanked God for this special treat that He is allowing for us this week. We also reminded the girls that even though we tend to say, "Wow! Isn't God so good?" when we get news like we did today, He is still just as good to us when we go through sickness and other trials in life. We can and should praise Him just as easily. These are the things I wanted to share before bed tonight. I hope you too are seeing God's goodness in your life today, whether it is a hard day or one filled with fun and excitement. Rom. 8:28
