It Keeps Getting Better

I have never been one that tithes much. I suppose it was a lack of faith. Last week, Annette and I discussed it and decided that we needed to start. Sunday morning, we basically had gas money to get to church. As we got dressed, Annette found money in her pocket that we had forgot about. We took a leap of faith and gave it to the church.

Monday morning came, she was expecting a check that would carry us through the week. I checked the mail looking for it. It wasn't there! But wait, what is this other letter addressed to me? It was from a former employer. It seems that they had mis-figured a paycheck and had sent a check for the difference. Amazingly, it was for almost the same amount as the other one we were expecting.

Wait,save your praise for a minute, I'm not done yet. While in shock, the phone rings. My new employer wanted to know if I could go ahead and start work in two hours. All they wanted was for me to go through orientation and do some paper work.

When I arrived, I asked for the Human Resources person. They led me to her and she said, "The manager needs to speak with you for a moment."

The manager informed me that they need a manager for the overnight shift. I don't like this shift but, she said that it would only be for a month or so. If I would take this position, she would pay me more money and give me a shift differential. All told, with the raises, I will make per hour almost the same amount that we put in the offering Sunday. An amount that I had not dreamed about.
