Cloudy Monday

Woke up this morning to clouds - a "summer cold front" is moving through and we've got cool winds, overcast skies and a delightful break from the usual sun-beating-down summer heat.

The Husband brought me the summaries from the insurance company for my visit to the Insta-Care. Since he works for an out-of-state company, places we can receive covered medical care are limited, and often inconveniently located.  Thus, I'm tend to be concerned about where we go / how much it will cost.

My bottom line (and kudos to the insurance company for their quick turnaround on this claim) is roughly $25.  Both of us dropped our jaw in astonishment.  If that is indeed all we'll pay for this visit, it was well worth not waiting until Wednesday to see the podiatrist.  He would have been much more expensive.

I came across this quote this morning from 2011.  I love these words.  They are encouragement for me.

In many of the uncertainties and challenges we encounter in our lives, God requires us to do our best, to act and not be acted upon (see 2 Nephi 2:26), and to trust in Him. We may not see angels, hear heavenly voices, or receive overwhelming spiritual impressions. We frequently may press forward hoping and praying—but without absolute assurance—that we are acting in accordance with God’s will. But as we honor our covenants and keep the commandments, as we strive ever more consistently to do good and to become better, we can walk with the confidence that God will guide our steps. And we can speak with the assurance that God will inspire our utterances. This is in part the meaning of the scripture that declares, “Then shall thy confidence wax strong in the presence of God” (D&C 121:45). (David A. Bednar)

I am thankful each day for a wise Heavenly Father who watches out for us with great love.  Often when we aren't really deserving of the blessings He sends. I so want to be worthy.
