Today, I find myself really extra grateful for the health benefits our family receives through work. We were self employed for so long, and paid for everything out of pocket. That being said, times were simpler and there was a lot less to pay for π
Yesterday, Laelas glasses broke. The nose pad came off. But like, OFF off. The little arm that held it on there and everything. Gone.

Laela isn’t especially rough on her stuff. I feel like kids glasses aren’t really made to last especially long, and we hadn’t gotten her new glasses last time around because hers were still holding up and her prescription hadn’t changed. But the suckers finally gave in yesterday.
I called about an appointment, and her yearly check up that is covered by Sask Health isn’t due for another sixish weeks or so. However. We have insurance!!! So we booked in and I took her this afternoon.
How bonkers is that?!
The day after her glasses broke, she had a new pair on order. And you know how much insurance didn’t cover? $16. We went $16 over. I didn’t have to think about the brand, the coatings, etc. She could choose what she wanted, and we could order it, walk out FORGETTING to pay π³ and to find out after the fact that we were literally COVERED. It was incredible.
I am so incredibly grateful for Bradys work, and how good they have been to us. When Brady was promoted to management, the idea of better benefits never had crossed our minds. Out of nowhere, he was given an updated card, and BOOM. Our family is completely and utterly taken care of. It doesn’t hurt that we have beautiful connections in so many other places either, such as our eye care place π
Thank you, Lord, for providing for us constantly, so often through those around us. We are never not taken care of, and we see that every single day.
