Jesus Helps

Good Morning, 

Tuesday evening I was paying bills and discovered that I had not entered a check in the register.  This was after a long day, and I asked Jesus to encourage me.  I wasn’t necessarily praying about the missing check amount but just to feel Jesus.  After praying, I had a feeling to look in my phone.  I’d used the calculator in it last week to deduct that check entry.  I knew I had used my calculator since then, and that the check amount wouldn’t still be showing there.  Still, I went to the calculator and looked.  A recent entry was showing, but a thought came to see if the menu button would help.  There was a “calculation history” option here, and I scrolled back and found the missing check amount. smiley face

Right after that, while doing the payroll, the first check did not print.  That was odd.  I loaded it into the printer again, and it did the same thing. We’ve used this printer since 2001, and it has never done that.  It works well even though it is old.  When the ink gets low, the print starts getting so light that the words only half-print.  That didn’t happen. There was no print on the checks.  Still, the thought came that maybe it was out of ink even though it had never behaved that way when out before.  Hoping and praying that it would work with the new ink, I loaded the checks again.  Before I hit the print button though, the feeling came to me that maybe Jesus was trying to save me from something.  So I stopped and looked closely at the check on the computer.  There were errors in the Federal and State deductions, making the net pay considerably higher than it should have been.  This was a salary check, and for those, normally, I only need to enter the correct pay date.  The check is automatically generated, and I print it.  For some reason it was very off, but Jesus slowed me down and helped me.  

I felt very encouraged after those things Tuesday night, and my day didn’t seem long at all anymore.  I am thankful Jesus helped me. heart
