Between my car, my computer, and my glasses, the week was drenched with
out-of-pocket expenses of which I had run out of pockets. To make 
matters worse, or better depending on your perspective, I had a wedding 
to perform toward the end of the week. 

Friday night was the rehearsal and Saturday afternoon at the wedding
ceremony. 

I could possibly do without my car, but all my wedding information and
the ceremony were neatly stored on my computer. If worse came to worse, 
and it probably will, I can always ad-lib a wedding ceremony. 

I've done so many through the years I probably could do it in my sleep.
Whether I can do it awake was another story. 

Along about Thursday, I was feeling somewhat blue about the whole week.
Nothing seemed to go right for me, plus I did not know where I was 
going to get the money to pay for these unforeseen expenses. 

The wedding rehearsal on Friday was set for 6:30, and my computer was
ready at 6:15. Now, that's cutting the wedding cake rather close. 

Between the car and computer repairs, I did not know how I would pay for
both. Have you ever noticed when everything seems to go wrong, 
something unexpected happens? 

While I was bemoaning my unfortunate week, several things happened. 

One, I received an unexpected check from a magazine publishing some of
my articles. 

Two, I received an honorarium for the wedding—something I wasn't
expecting. 

These two checks covered my unexpected expenses for the week. 

Third, the hard drive on my computer had a warranty, and I did not have
to pay for it. 

Thinking about my week, a wonderful verse of scripture romped through my
mind. "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we 
shall reap, if we faint not" (Galatians 6:9). 

Fainting is always an option, but the person who refuses to allow his
week to make him weary will reap God's blessing.
