This couldn't wait until Thankful Thursday! Today my husband called while I was on the phone with a friend. I called him back, and he said you're not going to believe this, I can barely believe it. He found out that he was receiving a cash award. Remember months ago when he took the Dale Carnegie class? When he found out this class availability so near to us, he was really interested in attending. He talked to the "boss people" at work about it, and they gave him the go ahead that he should go for it and gave him the impression they'd be willing to pay for part of the class. Well since this he has not heard a definite answer. His boss has been very supportive but the upper people in charge of the finances have not given him an answer. He just wanted a yes or no from them and was not getting anything. We were aggravated to never hear one way or the other. Thankfully received the tax bonus refund this year so that could be used for this class. But we'd gone into the class thinking he'd get some reimbursement from work and felt disappointed not to hear about it. Just last week he'd received the email that any more requests for funds needed to be submitted because they are closing out their fiscal year. I guess today was the day we got the answer! He still has not received an official notification that he got it or why he got it. It was just in the program and he saw it that he had received it. We believe it was their way of paying for part of the class. It is such a blessing. I just wanted to cry really when he told me! It shows me once again of God's perfect timing and He would know when we needed that money!
Another thing is it's been a fun blessing to have my cousin here with us. She came to stay since she's without electricity thanks to Ike. She stayed through the storm as it passed over her city and said what an experience that was! She was safe and unharmed, however doesn't have electricity. She must return to her job Tuesday and classes will resume Wednesday. Hopefully her electricity will be on soon! It's been fun having her here with us. Caleb loves playing with her!
I just wanted to share these blessings today. I feel grateful and didn't want to wait for Thankful Thursday to share! God is good!
