More than I deserve

A few months ago Drason and I switched cell phone carriers - no big deal - at the cell phone store we were given 3 phones, which should have cost about $50.00 each, at the time the sales person said that since they didn't have the phones we wanted, they would give us a deal on these phones - which were pretty nice.
So today - guess what shows up in the mail? Three-$50.00 rebate credit cards from the company - they gave them to us even though we only paid for the activation of the account - when we asked about this the store said to keep the cards, they were just happy to have our business. These couldn't have come at a better time, money is usually tight, but it is extremely tight right now, especially since we, all five of us, are planning on traveling to Kenya in early August.
Guess what else was in the mail? Our lease agreement on the rental house. It has been a year since the fire, and the insurance company is stopping the payments for our rental house. I called the land lord to see if we could work something out, and she was very vague about the details. I really had very little hope that they would reduce the rent at all. Then today we get the lease in the mail and we were stunned - We had asked them to adjust the rent down, but they knocked $400.00 off the monthly rent!

Praise God for His goodness - even though we don't deserve it - He always provides!
