Wedding Song - God Knew That I Needed You

PRUDENCE

This morning, I washed the Highlander after breakfast; it was so filthy after my little off-road adventure Monday evening.

Monday's adventure.

I wanted to get it done as early as possible – and while the temperature was still cool.

Baby is clean, again.

The Highlander was air drying before 10 AM 😊

While it dried, I paid Space Rent … and decided to drive over Cornelius Pass to grab some food stuffs to lay away. I’m not a hoarder, and I’m not a prepper; but with the continual mandates messing with grocery availability, it’s prudent to stock things before the stores’ shelves are empty again – like they were for months on end last Fall/Winter: already bottled water is nonexistent in some stores.

I'm prudently squirreling away things to ride out the continuous covid mandates.
Proverbs 31:14

The drive was enjoyable – and I brought home what I went for.

When I got back home and collected the mail, I saw that Bob’s prudence was kicking in 😉

I had been notified a few weeks ago about Beneficiary funds that would be coming every month as long as I live – but I was not expecting the back payments! None of it will make me wealthy … but it will help carry me over the hump every month, now that Medicare will be deducted from my Social Security Benefits.

Bob’s love gift is arriving right on schedule.

Love Gift ... from the grave. As soon as the ink on the Marriage Certificate was dry, Bob prudently provided for me – should anything happen to him.

I had a moment where tears flowed; not because I was sad, or overjoyed with the notification letter … but because Bob’s foresight in 1974 was still surrounding me with love in 2021: our Wedding Anniversary is in 36 hours. The notification letter is a bittersweet affirmation of Bob’s love for me.

I’d rather be holding Bob, than holding the letter. 

Wedding Night; August 27h, 1974.
Bob; 2016.

But since I can’t have Bob, I will be thankful for his provisional foresight, and praise Elohei for His abundant blessings toward me.

I’m still not a rich widow … but I’m sitting better tonight, than I was yesterday 😉
