postheadericon Gay Oct-23-10

I have to tell you how God works in mysterious ways. After I wrote the blog for the day and did my usual internet searching and reading the news on the internet I checked the morning paper which I hardly ever do. I see on the side of the front page a short paragraph about a VA meeting at the high school here in Zephyrhills. Last year I signed up for VA benefits and was denied which made me very upset. After serving our country and being told I would be taken care of with VA benefits. I thought maybe I should go to the meeting but then decided not to go and went outside and washed the front of the 5th wheel and then did my Saturday work. After that was done. Cheri said she was going to take Grandma over to Wal-Mart. I took my shower and when I got done I looked at my watch and see that it was 11:00 am, which is the time that the VA meeting was starting. I thought if I can find the denial letter that was sent to me from the VA I would go down and see if I could talk to someone about it. Not remembering where I put the letter, so I went looking for it and the first cabinet in looked in there it was right in front looking at me. So I took the letter and left a note for Cheri to tell her where I was. I jumped on the motorcycle and off I go to the meeting. There were quite a few guys there. I stood and waited to be taken care of when another guy came up and went ahead of me. I wasn’t happy about this and usually would say something, but God has been teaching me to be more patient. A short time later I was talking to two different people. After all was said and done I am going to be having a physical with the VA clinic here in Zephyrhills. So I will be able to use the VA benefits I was promised when I got out of the service. I truly believe if it wasn’t for God showing me the way today I wouldn’t be getting the VA benefits. Once again Cheri and I went to church this evening to volunteer our help with the Pumpkin Fest. We did the same jobs that we did last night. We heard this evening that we had 845 adults and children come though last night and because I was helping park cars, I know we had a lot more people come this evening.
