One less thing

“And so then I got a call from him saying we don’t have to worry about money no more and I said, ‘That’s good. One less thing.’” –Forrest Gump, upon learning he was wealthy

Sometimes money seems like such a stupid thing to pray for. Money doesn’t fix broken relationships (like mine with my mom) or heal awful terminal diseases (like ALS) or make any of us truly happy. But it sure can simplify the logistics of difficult circumstances, by paying for lots of expensive equipment to make living with ALS easier, for instance. As long as your hope isn’t in money and your motives are pure, well, I can’t say I have a problem with praying for money.

Especially when that prayer is answered so succintly, so beautifully, and so wonderfully like it was today. Dad’s long-term disability income was approved.

Woo-hoo and praise God!!
