As I read above, it popped into my head that there's an astonishing blessing you already had that's maybe as much as 2,000 times better than the one you received!! YOUR CAR!!! (worth maybe that amount more than the value of the free wash).
Take 'em for granted don't we?? But for a few billion people in our unfair world, whenever they need to go somewhere they don't just hop in their car or truck, they don't take a cab, or a bus, or a train - THEY WALK!! Like a couple of miles every day to the village well, then carry back the full weight of the whole day's water supply that has to serve for every purpose!!
Did I mention taking things for granted???

Praises indeed, hon!! Like I've said, I gotta have sumpin' to do or I end up in bed (and then because of CFS, soon after that, dead in bed! *erp!*) Truth to tell, I can't keep away from you beautiful peoples here!!
May I share with you how incredibly PRACTICAL our God is, in enabling me to actually BE here: He helps with every-day things as well as spiritual ones (but they, of course, are the most important). Thus, years ago now, a way to prop myself up here at the computer, well, more or less just "happened"! It happened cos we somehow had the exact right height desk, and what we call a 'wheelie chair' (office chair with wheels) to sit in which was height ajustable. And it was comfortable and had arm-rests each side.
As I continued to get weaker we added pillows to further support my body and kinda prop me up, and so here I am, miraculously WITH EVERY POSSIBLE ANGLE RIGHT FOR MY WEAK, WEAK BODY!!! - giving TOTAL support of my legs and feet, my back and body, and my arms and even my wrists. SO right in fact, that as I'm typing here every part of me is supported and wholly relaxed (else it would wear out in absolutely NO time at all, and that would be that!!) and the only part of me doing any work at all are my fingers tapping the keys!!! Pretty neat, hey!!
If this HADN'T "happened" I'd have had to give up the computer a long time ago - and so you can see how miraculous this is, if we changed just one thing - say the height of the desk - then EVERY OTHER THING GOES STRAIGHT OUT OF WHACK, AND IT'S VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST THEM ALL, TO GET THE HEIGHTS AND ANGLES ALL PROPERLY WORKING TOGETHER!! So to me that was a Godly miracle that's SPECIFICALLY enabled me to love and minister to many people for a number of years, even while being ill!!!
"Oh, yes, praise be to Your wonderful name, Jesus, my Lord and Master!"
