Still morning and here I am , not alert but awake . I got to sleep around 4 , and the older son called at 8:15 . He and Nurse Ratched invited us out for a buffet breakfast , and our youngest daughter and her husband and son also joined us . A very nice way to spend the morning . Now if I can motivate myself to get some work done around here . Now it's past 9 PM and we've had quite a productive day , overall . I made a new door for my " garden shed " , a storage cellar built into the retaining wall between the 2 houses , and installed it . I cut 4x4 risers for the feet on our plasma TV , and added casters to a large TV stand I built about 15 or 20 years ago . My wife pruned the rose bushes and caught up laundry , then made sides for the pork roast she put in the crockpot this morning . I mentioned to her I needed a flat screen monitor for my bench computer , if she ran across one . A while later , her sister's pastor's wife posted one on one of the facebook sellers clubs . She also had various cables and power adapters , powered speakers , PC game controllers , and a printer , all for 20 bucks . She was the first comment , we drove to Perryville and picked it  up , and brought it home . The only things I haven't tested yet are the printer and cables , it all works . The speakers alone in a pawn shop would easily bring $20 or more , the 19" Dell monitor probably $75 . Sometimes God answers our simple requests so quickly it makes your head spin . I honestly expected to find just a basic screen for 20 or 30 dollars , and a time frame of maybe a week or more . God put what I had casually wanted , no hurry or importance specified , in front of us , with cool bonus goodies I didn't even know I needed . It was completely consummated in just a couple hours , and all in such a way as to leave no doubt about the author . This is why we thank God for everything , because He has a plan for each of us , if we don't screw it up by abusing our free will . We have been thanking Him for this unexpected gift , as I said , there was no mistaking the hand of God in it .
   It's not quite 10 , but it has been an exhilarating day , I need to make up my sleep deficit , and I need to conduct some insurance business tomorrow . Not to mention rising at 4:30 to be sure our son is up . What I'm getting at here is , praise God , and thank Him , He is taking care of us in ways we may or may not see , and blesses our lives whether or not we understand it . Good night , may God greatly bless all of you .
