We've had an exciting day.  Too much excitement.  Way too much excitement for these elderly people.  (We know that we are elderly now because we recently heard an American newscaster refer to someone who is 72 years old as "elderly"...so that is our new classification!)  But I digress.

 The day started out here on our side of the Big Pond with the discovery that our U.S. debit card had been skimmed at an ATM machine that we sometimes use.  It's located just down the road from Shiloh, and because of its proximity to us, is the most convenient to use.  Not any more!!  We've used it for the last time.  

Fast forwarding past all that excitement...way too much excitement for these elderly people...the day is ending on a grateful note.   We're grateful for electricity.  Without electricity we could not be in contact with  the outside world.  We've had electricity from the time we woke up this morning and we still have electricity even now as we are headed off to bed.  We're grateful for Internet connection.  Without access to the Internet communicating with the outside world becomes much more complicated and much more costly.  We woke up today with good, strong Internet and are  going to bed with the same luxury.  We are grateful for our son who co-signs on our bank account.  Without him, resolving this particular problem becomes extremely complicated from this side of the Big Pond.  We are grateful for our American bank who quickly replaced all the funds that the skimmer got away with.  At days end we are going to bed resting in the All Sufficient One Who faithfully takes care of us in ways seen and unseen.  How grateful we are to be in His forever family.
