The Blessings of Tithing

When RJ and I were trying to decide whether or not to purchase the corrective helmet for Reagan, money was a big isssue. We were told that it would cost $3,500. We assumed that we would also have a $50 co-pay per visit with the specialist tacking on another couple hundred and that our insurance would not cover one penny. After meeting with Ryan, I felt like we needed to go ahead and bite the bullet. Girls have a hard enough time accepting themselves, I didn't want Reagan to have one more thing to dislike about her beautiful self if we could fix it now. Of course we were also concerned about possible learning delays and being able to get glasses to fit properly (her ears were misaligned.) RJ supported my decision and so far, there has been a 3% improvement. It has been a slow transformation because we didn't capitize on the prime time to put her into the helmet which was 5 months old. We finally got the bill in the mail and to my shock the helmet ended up costing $2,450. Insurance then paid $1,560 leaving us with a balance of $890! I had to read the bill several times. My heart filled with gratitude and I told myself, "that is the blessing of paying an honest tithe!"
