Grace At Home

Thrift Store Shopping Trip!

Yesterday we took a trip to the Goodwill. My oldest son wrote a list of what we needed on the way there. I just love it when the Lord has things that we need and when we need them. He is always so faithful to provide! I know that he answers my prayers in this area. YES the Lord cares that I need to buy shoes for the baby! He knows I try to be wise in my purchases, and I never go shopping without him!! I not only found the things we needed but some things I wanted as well!

 

Here is what we found yesterday! I paid 51.00 for all these items. everything is in excellent or new condition. Had we bought these retail and brand new I estimate the cost to be at least $200.00.

 

-2 pairs of shoes for the babay

-a pizza pan

-3 pairs of work pants for daddy and just the kind he likes too! (needed these very badly!)

-2 good old movies

-a few small decor items for my dining room

-a wooden basket to hold books in living room

-2 large floor pillows, one is tapesty in a primitive theme

-a very nice large coffee cup, it is so pretty and matches my kitchen!!

-several smaller coffee cups for the children

-New placemats and napkins for dining room, they still had the department store tags! These are so nice, they are red,

white, and blue plaid, I came home and tea stained them since my dining room is done in primitive decor, they look so

nice!

-a flannel pillowcase for younger sons bed.

-a coloring book for oldest daughter.

-slippers for youngest daughter.

 

I have to be careful not to get things we wont use. I have to be very aware of this or we will accumulate alot of clutter. Even if things are an excellent buy, I try not to get them if we don't need them NOW. I try to think of this, if I have found this item easily now, I can find it easily later. The Lord know what we need, when we need it and will provide.

 

I will try to get a picture of some of the nice things I found this week.

About Me

I don't begin to say I have it all figured out yet. Only by his grace do I strive to be all I need to be. By his grace I am living an abundant life, teaching my children at home. I can think of no other place we would rather be!
