Blessings in the Dumpster

My husband has been helping with the remodeling of our church's new youth building. For the demolition the church rented a huge dumpster. One evening, hubby noticed that several textbooks had been thrown into the dumpster. Our church also has a Christian school, so he figured the teachers were getting rid of old editions. Knowing his wife LOVES books, especially textbooks, Christian books, and anything homeschooley, my husband and son dumpster dived and came up with about 100 old books.

I was a happy woman! God always provides in funny ways. The best find was a worldview curriculum called "Understanding the Times". There were also two big binders of character curiculum, 50 copies of one science text and several of the state history text. So, I'll be donating the excess to the local homeschool community.

Hey if you have a couple copies of Understanding the Times, could I get one?
What a great find!

Wow! What a find! It's so great that your hubby was willing to dumpster dive to get those treasures! I must admit, I'm a dumpster diver from way back. LOL I'm amazed at what perfectly good things people throw away. Your books look great - several we've used in our homeschooling!

God bless you - Julie
