Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?

God did an amazing thing yesterday.

I shouldn't be surprised.  He has proven Himself faithful over and over and over again.  Yet somehow, I am still amazed to see Him work things out in such unbelievable ways.

When Paul got out of the Army last August, he had decided to go directly into the Reserves so that we could pick up medical coverage when he opened his own practice.  We thought it would be an easy transition, but it ended up taking six months to get the paperwork straightened out.  In the meantime, we had transitional coverage until the end of January.

Then that ran out.

We waited and waited and finally thought everything was taken care of...until yesterday.  I was trying to refill a prescription when I was informed that we still had no coverage.  The problem was that I only had six days of medicine left, and our coverage apparently doesn't start until April 1.

I called a pharmacy and discovered that a 14-day supply would cost $75.  We knew we didn't really have any choice.  We were going to have to pay the full amount.

I decided to call our doctor and ask if they had any samples.  A sweet Christian nurse from the clinic answered the phone and listened to my story.  A minute later she came back on the phone and said that they had one sample box I could have.

"How many days is that?" I asked tentatively.

"One month," she replied with a smile in her voice.  "When do you want to come get it?"

The kids and I ate a fast lunch and drove right over to the office.  When she handed me the box, I told her thank you and she said, "God is good all the time."

On the way home, Josiah asked to look at the box.  I said, "Do you know what you're holding?"

"No."

"You're holding $150."

And then God said to me, "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing?  And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from Your Father...Fear not, therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows."

Amazing.
