Why this blog...

I am the mother of the three most talented, intelligent and beautiful children ever to live on this earth. I am also privileged to be married to the most wonderful man! He has added three additional talented, intelligent and beautiful children to our family! I have a job that I mostly love, a wonderful education, a beautiful home, marvelous family, and I have the privilege of belonging to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been greatly blessed in my life, but I sometimes forget that. So, I decided to create this blog as a way to remind myself of all the many blessings and miracles that surround me. (I'm also terrible at keeping a journal- so this will be something for my kids to enjoy as well.)

I hope you enjoy what you read. I would love to hear what you think!

Lost in the Mail = An Unexpected Blessing!

Yes, you read that correctly...

Luke is now taking a very expensive brand name medicine (the generic, which the insurance will pay for, doesn't work...) And the pharmacy with the lowest price on a 30 day supply is downtown. So, we have them mail it.

Last month, Luke ordered said meds more than a week in advance of needing the refill. When it came time for the refill, no meds. On the phone, the pharmacy assured Luke it had been mailed a week previously, but they also said it could take up to ten days. So we decided to wait. As several days passed, still no meds- and Luke's health was getting worse.

Friday evening, still no meds. A phone call to the pharmacy brought worse news. The shipment had mistakenly been sent to a different state! But it was on its way back... :(

So Saturday morning brought a trip downtown for a 10 day supply.

As we came home, I started to do some mental math. The 10 day supply * 3 did NOT equal the same price as the 30 day supply. It was over $100 lower.

As the saga continued for another week without the original shipment arriving, I prepared for yet another trip downtown. However, Luke and I asked the pharmacy if they would be willing to run some cost comparisons for us...

What a blessing! It turns out that a 5 day supply is just over $5!!! And the pharmacy is willing to ship to us every 5 days! For no extra charge!

We will now be saving HUNDREDS of dollars EVERY MONTH just because Luke's pills were lost in the mail!!!

What a great blessing! The Lord does hear and answer prayers! (even in some most unusual ways.)
