Coffee Tales

I just had to write to you all today!  Something happened last night after Waccasassa Wednesday Night.

My husband and I stopped at the local grocery store on the way home.

While inside, he asked if we needed coffee.  Of course we do.  We are running low.  But when I went to get it off the shelf the price was $11.98!  Whoa!  Way too much!  So, I went back to the counter muttering something about how I wasn't willing to pay that much, and that it is like cutting my finger off...and paying for it.  But as I got to where the cashier and husband were I realized that I was complaining and whining.  So, I straightened up and smiled, then I said, "The Lord will provide coffee for me for Free!"  That's a pretty bold statement coming from me!  I better watch out!  We checked out and headed out to the car where the kiddos were.  There was a man outside the store that we have been praying for off and on for about a year.  He asked if my husband would pray for him.  While hubby was praying over Mr. Lennon, a lady knocked on my window.  She said "I overheard you say that about the coffee, I have loads of coffee!  My church was donated Peet's Coffee to give out and reach out to the community."  Wow!  She asked if we would follow her to her home a block away.  I told her to ask my husband when he was done praying with Mr. Lennon.  She said I will be right back, I have left the cashier with all my groceries.  When she came back she asked my husband and he said Yes!

As we followed her to her home, I told Rob I just can't believe we are following someone we don't know to their house to get free coffee!  Seems extreme doesn't it?  We were able to meet her and her husband and 1 year old son.  They attend a church in the town near our church.  Very sweet!  She also said that her church has been praying for revival in Waccasasssa.  What a blessing!  A church we didn't know was praying for our mission work in the neighborhood.

Amazing!  The Lord really did provide coffee for free!

I just had to post it!  Now Eva, I know what your thinking!  As we were leaving, Rob said, "I can't wait to see you enjoy and be thankful for Peet's Coffee, and not Folgers." 

 Hey the Lord knows.  And I am thankful.(smile)

It is so funny and wonderful.  Little blessings.  Little testimonies.  A little love from a christian sister whom I have never met.  God is good!  Thank you Lord!

What a blessing!

Oh I also took some pictures of my living room.

Not a big deal.  Just rearrangement for the Fall Season.

Here is the Living Room.

Here is the Parlor.  The front door is on the left.

I took these pictures for my friend Eva.  I love you sister!

That is so neat! I love it when God blesses our faith in Him! I have recieved two free dressers and a bookshelf recently! The girls have been using two dressers for a long time, but now their clothes are bigger and take up more space. I was praying that God might allow us to find some at a yard sale, but free is even better! We are really trying to get out of debt and I feel that God is blessing us for our faith that He will help us!

Thanks so much for the pictures! I almost feel as if I am standing in your house again! I love the parlor! I can just imagine you and dh there having coffee and devotions!

I hope you are keeping a written log of these adventures God leads you all through! Maybe dd1 can be your biographer! :)

Well, I am off to finish school. We have Mamaw (and her boyfriend) coming tomorrow and the band is playing at a community day in the next town on Saturday. Looking forward to everything and then a rest next week! Did I tell you that I am playing autoharp with them? It has been fun!

Talk to you soon! Love, Eva
