I found a pile of mail waiting for me when I got home Monday night. Also waiting was a pile of laundry. Then there was a suitcase to empty and things to put away. I did the suitcase first, which added to the laundry pile. Then the laundry (and spent a bit of time cleaning the kitchen which had not been cleaned since I left.)
The mail waited until Wednesday. There was a letter for Bob and another one for me from our Medicare supplemental insurance company. It was an announcement that its Medicare coverage will no longer be offered in our area. My heart sunk as I read the letter. I knew I would now have to look for another company, a task I dreaded.
This would be a new experience for me. This company was one that I had when I was an employee at St. Luke’s Health System. When I reached Medicare age, I just slid from one side of the company to the other.
So, I put it off. Then I got a phone call Thursday from an independent agent. The company going out of business recommended him and before I could reach out to him, he reached out to me. It was all settled in 15 minutes. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then I remembered a Scripture in Isaiah.
“I will answer them before they even call to me. While they are still talking about their needs, I will go ahead and answer their prayers!” [Isaiah 65:24 NLT]
God is so good! He knew that my mind was stressed, and I was drained emotionally. He knew my heart was not ready to deal with this now … so He dealt with it. Not only was it handled in 15 minutes, but I would not have to live with it hanging over my head in the days ahead.
God, You are SO good! Thank you.
