Tender Mercy

My purpose in writing here is just to have a place to record great things that happen in our lives. Usually the great things are really little insignificant things but once you add up all the little things, it or they become significant. Grant has motivated me to write because I have forgotten most of these small things and unfortunately I am starting to forget even the big things. What is the name of that woman I live with?

Any way here is a small tender mercy. We have been waiting for several weeks for a check from Actionware (Toronto). It had become critical that we receive it in a timely manner because of some unforseen other demands on our cash flow (taxes). Some how we were able to cover all our checks except the one I had sent out for the Christmas house in Florida. I have been extremely worried about this for the last ten days as I wrote the check the first week in November and it hadn't cleared and it would not of cleared based on the amount of money in the bank. I prayed that somehow we would be able to take care of this. The Actionware check was the answer but it never came and never came and never came. We finally had come to the point that we were going to ask Actionware to overnight us a new check and cancel the other one but the day we decided to do that (Saturday) the check finally arrived.

Grant put the check in yesterday and voila the tender mercy. The check for the Florida house also was presentecd to the bank yesterday and cleared the same day that we put in the Actionware check.

Small little things that continue to put a smile on one's face.
