A little bit down...not sad or depressed...but just trying to figure out how to make it till the end of the month with gas and kitty litter.

I used half my laundry money tonight to buy kitty litter, because my Amazon order crashed and burned. I had to ask for a refund, which won't arrive till next week...but with kitty litter, that's a looooong time to go without fresh litter.

I figure I will just tell the cleaning lady not to wash the sheets and blanket next week and just wash my clothes. AND I will have to cancel my hand therapy appointments next week, because I don't have enough gas to get there and back.

@4meAndyou I am so sorry to hear all of this. 💔😢😢😢😢

@Musicman It's all okay. I think I can manage. ☺️☺️☺️

@4meAndyou God definitely loves you. He seems to always take care of you. 🙏💖💖💖🙏

@Musicman Well. a friend of mine, Tom, says the same thing, basically...but HE says I have a golden horseshoe up my a$$. 🤣🤣🤣

And I don't think God takes care of me in a [i]special[/i], way, any more than he takes care of His other children. But things do seem to work out for me, as long as I try to use my brain...☺️☺️☺️ And sometimes, especially lately, my brain doesn't seem to be working too well...it tells me things like..."I can afford to buy this piece of crap from Publisher's clearing house." 🤣🤣🤣

@4meAndyou C had a friend, she passed away, who would be out of money and pray. Then she had a special drawer she would look in and money would just be there. Other times she would pray over her lack of gas in the car and somehow be able to run all of her errands that week. 🤷‍♂️

@Musicman Well, God isn't a magic fairy who grants wishes. He is my Father, and I love Him, but He expects me to take REAL responsibility for managing my life. Praying for money to be in the drawer doesn't meet that criteria. In fact, praying for God to perform a miracle when I can help myself by THINKING is a bit bird brained.

But...more power to C's friend, who is probably strumming a harp in heaven at the moment. ☺️☺️☺️

@4meAndyou She would just pray and tell God her needs and he would meet them. She lived on a very tight budget. She had a small house in Missouri and kept her own garden too.

@Musicman God already KNOWS all of our needs. Goodness. He is all knowing and all powerful, and doesn't need to be told. But I suppose what He DOES need, if anything, is for us to communicate with Him and express our love. Personally, I would NEVER tie my love for God to begging.

@4meAndyou He tells us to bring everything to Him in prayer. His answer can be yes, no or wait. Getting our own way is never tied to my love for Him and look at everything we have been going through lately. God is awesome! 🙏💖💖💖🙏

@Musicman Yes, God is awesome! But I do try to recall the irony of the Janis Joplin song...
