God’s great Good News

Despite Evelyn’s being ill with an air borne disease, causing extreme coughing, we had to keep an appointment with a dermatologist Tuesday at noon.  We arrived just a bit early, thinking we would be waiting about half an hour.  The first blessing was that we were ushered in directly to the room where the biopsy was to be done.  The doctor came into the room where the nurse had prepared the anesthetic syringe to deaden the spot on her right shoulder.  The doctor looked at the spot and said, “If you would rather heal this yourself, it is all right with me.”  What a pleasant surprise blessing!  We rushed off praising God for His mercy.  We went to the grocery to get a turkey breast for me to smoke for our Christmas dinner.  We had gone out for lunch but brought the groceries home just before the woman from the golf car repair garage came to deliver our car.  We had to buy 4 new batteries for around $800.  I had to wait to test it out.   We have been staying at home much of the time this winter.  We have only about 2 close friends and can’t be with them all the time.  Besides Evelyn has not felt very strong.  She has been working on the cupcakes for the LWML Christmas party this coming Thursday but rests quite a bit.   In the meantime, we noticed a different sound in the car.   I took the Cadillac to have the transmission checked.   After all, the warranty would run out in 2,000 more miles.  On the way to the dealership, I went to get some marked down pork so I could smoke it with the turkey breast.  I came home with a loaner car and prepared the Brinkman smoker for my Christmas project.  It turned our quite well.  Evelyn went to the church with Bonny to prepare for tomorrow’s party for the children at the school.  We still praise God for all He does for us.
