I'm still in shock

Last week I carted Mr. Cranky to my bank to get his signature notarized. While we were there, I joked with the branch manager that I'd love to have my car turn up on their bumper sticker contest. When you get one of their stickers, they take a picture of the rear of your vehicle, showing the sticker and your license plate. Each week they post a photo at the teller windows. If the owner of that vehicle come in and claims it, they get $100. If no one claims it, the next week's pot is $200, and they keep adding another $100 each week that there is no winner. Yesterday, I stopped by, shortly before they were supposed to open, just to check my balance at the ATM. They opened the door and invited me in. There was the photo of my pickup posted at the teller window! And the pot was up to $500! We still haven't gotten Mr. Cranky's Social Security Disability, but the Lord is providing. Our church paid for some prescriptions he needed and gave us a food package; his doctor gave us physician samples on some of his other prescriptions; I got an extra (unexpected) 4 hours of overtime; and now this gift. Praise the Lord!
