What Is Important?

For the past week, I've been looking at the fact I was going to let my Y membership expire until spring. Not only have many of you expressed their shock that I would do so, but so have the people at the Y because I love to swim. This morning on my way to the Y, I noticed first that all but one light was green all the way there, and it turned soon after I got there. Then being noon, there is no way my usual parking space would be open as the Y is so active. It was open. I then started doing a lot of mental arithmetic while I swam for my usual 50 minutes and concluded I could make this work. If ever God's grace and favor were on me, it was this morning. When I got home and opened the computer, my bank balance came up as low. I have it set to a certain amount I don't want to go under. I calculated that right too. My funds will work to the end of the month, provided I don't spend anything more except at Aldi as necessary. If and that's a huge IF my son would pay me back what he owes me, that would really help. However, if needed, I have PayPal to help out too in an emergency. So, my October membership is paid. And in two weeks, I'll pay the November membership as well. Swimming is important to me, and God thinks so too to show me that His blessing and favor is on me to keep it going another month. Have you experienced God's grace and favor recently? Thanks for reading. I'm going to take care of these notifications before I start work on the book.

Yes, it could have been much worse and I'm glad he's doing better. Thank you. Yes, there are several ways to pay, monthly, yearly, which is best, but I can't do that by the year, a ten-dip pass, or daily. Monthly works for me, usually.

I am glad that you are able to keep your membership. Here they offer memberships to everyone, regardless of their income or financial status. Do they have that policy on your side of the border? I am off for this week from work, my work was really stressing me out, so I am where I need to be now. And I am thankful for that.

@just4him That is all that we have up here YMCA, none of the other. My membership is quite pricey at over $800 per year.

They do at the YMCA, but not the YWCA. I'm glad you have the week off from all that stress.

@Juliaacv That is pricey. I think without the senior discount it's $420 per year at the YWCA. I think it's $375 a year if I remember correctly.

Yes, they were. It felt good to be back in the pool this morning knowing I didn't need to give up the membership.

I hope you can continue to swim since you like it so much. The pool I went to closed and the Y is to expensive. They did build a second pool in the building so I might go back and see about that second pool.

Glad that you’ve worked it out. Yes, lately I have been having problems with money. But God has sent an angel/instrument. God really is good!
