They are far from fully informed. Not all the stories you've read about the quintuplets or heard about them on the radio are accurate, especially concerning Medicare. The taxpayers of Texas are not footing the bill for our children. We have insurance coverage and pay for it every month. We pay taxes ourselves and have contributed yearly to Social Security over the years, so the small amount our one child has cost through Medicare, we have paid for previously through our own taxes. <br /><br />I could also go into the medical 'mistake" that led to the quintuplets, aside from just the fertility shots, but i won't-- that just reinforces the fact of God's sovereignty.<br /><br />GavinCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438584462245987122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194119873694032441.post-67317522909819045342013-07-22T16:30:46.516-05:002013-07-22T16:30:46.516-05:00I forgot Have you listened to any music of the Chr...I forgot Have you listened to any music of the Christian group MercyMe,,,, You can hear them on you tube...

So, you certainly do have a full plate, Gavin, and I don't think anyone could can blame you for protesting a bit! <br />Pretty typical of us humans - when we get the plate that God hands us, we just want to say, "I'll have the dessert, please!" But, God in His wisdom, has a lot to feed us, and He may continue to give us even more, until sometimes we think the plate is overflowing, and we weren't that hungry anyway, so "No, thanks, Lord", we'd rather not have that extra helping. But, then we remember that God is holding that plate with us, and His Hands will not let it spill over the side, or slip from our hands, we can somehow muddle through and take that extra helping and feel blessed by it. In His Mercy, He will feed you and hold you and care for you, and love you beyond measure as you do the same for your beautiful family. Two great Fathers!

I continue to pray for patience, wisdom, guidance, and down time for you all. I just came from a very stressful couple of years and here I am complaining that my life seems like there is nothing going on. I need to look around and be thankful for what is going on right now. <br />Thanks again Gavin and Carrie for using your current situation to egg us on to thinking about our current situation.<br />Debbie MillerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2194119873694032441.post-45486316627019318342013-07-22T09:01:42.369-05:002013-07-22T09:01:42.369-05:00Excellent post, Gavin, one we can all relate to wh...Excellent post, Gavin, one we can all relate to whether our "present" involves a household of quints or not.
