Today's Miracle(s).

1. After pricing a replacement back brace for the osteoporosis-induced fractures in my spine, I determined that we could not afford the $140 the medical aid supply company had quoted. Today in Nerang I saw the same back brace at a different store on special for $7 simply because it was the last one in stock.

 

2. We planned on visiting a friend in the Southport Private Hospital. It seems that hundreds of other had a similar idea. After circuiting the block once looking for a parking space we were able to park in a vacant spot right near the main entrance.

 

3. We went to Kmart to buy my wife Rosemary a new sunhat, as her straw one was uncomfortable to wear and needed replacing. She wanted a fabric hat and Kmart had only two designs to choose from. They were priced at $9 each, but the day we went they had been reduced to less than half-price at $4 each. These particular ones were reversible and so she got both, the equivalent to four different hats for less than the price of one.

 Today's Miracle. 

Friday afternoon, my wife Rosemary was doing some cooking in preparation for Sabbath and the particular dish that she was making required some fresh green beans. As we only had frozen ones, Rosemary asked if I could go the fruit shop (only walking distance away) and buy some fresh green beans. I said goodbye to Rosemary and as I got to the footpath, a car arrived alongside me with our friend Anna driving. She had come unannounced to gift to us a box of fruits and vegetables. Inside the box was a bag of fresh green beans that Anna later told us that she had added to the box as an afterthought to give some colour to her gift.
