Interesting question posed by my attorney today. I can squeeze a penny and I have done so. My favorite lunch is Chicken Ramen noodles, I call them "Amen" noodles. There are no frills in this household. But I didn't quite know how to tell her that God keeps showing up here and providing blessings that fill the gaps in startling ways, such as oil paints from people who just happened to clean out their craft closets, or the continued anonymous donor who keeps paying all of my daughter's drill team expenses. She came home yesterday with a new sweatshirt complete with her name on the shoulders. Then there was the car repairs that were covered by the council unexpectedly, and they were not cheap. I was ready to park it again. Friends showing up with groceries, furniture (the bed I am sleeping on), and of course the anonymous Christmas angels, the list goes on. I don't quite know how to tell my very rational lawyer friend that God just keeps showing up. I am pinching the pennies and frugal is perhaps putting it mildly, but making ends meet has certainly been aided in unexpected ways over and over. I suspect she thinks I am a 'little crazy' to risk my pension, but she respects my choice to do so. I hope the judge gets it as well.
