Sometimes, we are totally blessed by the things that happen in our lives, and today was one of those days. 

As we approach the end of the month, things get tighter financially. I was settling in for a week of tightly managing our grocery budget, when some amazing news arrived. Actually, we received two pieces of good news. 

The first piece of life saving news came in the mail this afternoon. Apparently, we overpaid our auto and home owners insurance by a relatively significant amount, and State Farm issued us a refund check. Surprise… ☺ 

About the exact same time, I received an email notice that Google had made my monthly deposit. This was a surprise as well because according to my records, I missed the threshold for payout by $00.11 last month. 

Apparently, the rates had changed and I actually made it over. 

Both of these have been absolute blessings, and I’m so grateful that they came through today.
