“Better Way” Ministries restores men whose lives have been devastated by sin.  While having some signs made at their sign shop, I noticed a very nice hot tub in their warehouse.  It aroused a desire to have one.  I had hot tubs on the brain for several weeks.  It occurred to me how I could spend time in one during my “middle of the night” sleepless periods to get sleepy again.  Also, my aching muscles and joints could get some relief.

After doing my internet research, I began patrolling Craigslist for a used hot tub.  I looked at one nearby, but they wanted $1250 for it.  I didn’t want to pay that much.  Then, one for $300 popped up.  Jeffrey was home for the weekend, so I enlisted his help to go get it … to Barnesville, Ga., 1.25 hours away.  They said it just quit.  I brought it home and promptly found an internal wire that had burned.  I cleaned it and reconnected it, and … it started running!!!

I have really been enjoying my $300 hot tub.  I just got out of it minutes ago.  The jets massage my feet and bring some relief from the peripheral neuropathy (numbness and tingling) which is one of my medication side effects.

I’m grateful for little blessings like this.  The Lord is always mindful of us, and will provide our every need if we’ll wait on Him to do it. 

Let’s see … $1250 minus 300 …  I saved myself $950.  I’m happy, especially when I think of the deal I got.
