A story of our good God who provides in ways that shouldn't surprise us, but they always do:
Paul was sent home from the hospital with a 2-week prescription for his antibiotic, but most pharmacies don't even carry it. We had been told that he would get liquid because the pills are extremely expensive.
When I called our local pharmacy on Sunday afternoon, the pharmacist said they couldn't even get the liquid, but she also looked up our insurance and said that if we got the pills, we were only covered for 20 (out of the 56 he would need). The words "maximum allowable amount" were uttered at some point in the conversation. The nurse at the hospital gave us enough doses of liquid on Sunday to get through the night, and then we had to go back to the hospital yesterday to have the prescription filled there instead.
As Paul picked it up yesterday, he was very surprised that they had given him the pills instead of the liquid. He asked the pharmacist about it and found out that they had called the insurance to override the limit. He paid the $12 co-pay and left the pharmacy, still wondering at the change. As we stood in the lobby of the hospital looking at the label, we realized that it showed our co-pay and also showed the complete cost of the medication. We were absolutely stunned.
Total cost of 56 pills: $3,703.06
Cost to us: $12
Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable.
The words all string together in my mind-- "Consider the lilies of the fields... are you not of much more value than the sparrows... take no thought for tomorrow... Your Heavenly Father knows that you have need of these things..."
...even antibiotics.

Amen, amen, and amen!!! Praise God! Gave me goosebumps.
Do you know last year, when Brian didn't have a job for 8 months we had more money come in than when he did have a job. (And you know we don't have wealthy family members helping us.)
How could that be?????
We know WHO!
