In an age when EVERYONE is struggling to get by, it is SO NICE to walk in a “shower of blessings.”  They don’t necessarily happen all the time and if it were only me, I would not mind so much.  Being a parent really changes the landscape of things and you look for those showers all the time.  I think in times like these, I pray even harder.

Hyper.  Energetic.  Full of energy.  These are the adjectives I used/use to describe my son. From the cradle, to this present time.  He was always a handful.  Even at twenty, he can still be a handful.  I think that I can handle him a little better in his/my older age.  Fortunately for me, he hardly ever suffers with illness. This can be a good or a bad thing.  When he does not get ill, it is a good thing when you don’t have the insurance or money to cover him.  A bad thing when he does get ill and you don’t have the insurance or money to cover him.

TODAY I HAD A FEW DROPS FROM A SHOWER OF BLESSINGS.  I know that I am constantly being blessed but I don’t always see the showers.  Sometimes I only see a few drops.  FREE DENTAL CLINIC.  My son was able to have a wisdom tooth extracted for FREE!  He has been saying for a couple of months that he has been having some problems with his teeth.  A wisdom tooth needed to come out.  As a parent, you want to do all that you can to care for your child.  Sometimes a parents’ wallet and a parents’ desire for their child don’t always match up.  Thankfully my desire and wallet matched today. FREE!!! The clinic did the tooth extraction and my son feels so much better.

Once I found out about the clinic, I immediately told my son and husband so that they could get there BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.  Remember, I said that this was a FREE dental clinic.  To ensure that he would benefit, I made certain that my son left home at 5 a.m. in order to get in line. The clinic was to begin at 7 a.m.  My husband went straight from his job and arrived around 4 a.m.  My husband was first in line although when they did open, the extractions were taken first, so he, my husband, ended up sixth.  No matter though.  MY SON WAS SECOND.  Once I received this information by text, I settled down to sleep for a little while.  My son is not longer in pain.

“Showers of blessings.  Showers of blessings we need.  Mercy drops round us are falling.  But for the showers, we plea.”

I hope that you enjoy “showers of blessings” on this Funkadelic Friday.
