Happy Friday!

Good Day to everyone.
It has been a day of sewing for me.
The blouse is finished. My Man took the day off today and we are all just taking it easy. The popular term is a "staycation".
He has too many accumulated vacation hours. So he worked a 14 hour day yesterday and stayed home today.

We did our large bulk shopping our bread flour, pastry flour, whole grain wheat to grind. We also got bulk sugar and such. Lots of fresh produce.
It was so wonderful not to really have to lift anything. We have those large food buckets I purchased when we got the water tank some time back and I have been awaiting this day some time. I am talking about 25 and 50 pound bags of these staples to set pantry for all the bake goods. Now remember I bake every thing from scratch, make my own mixes for convince.
So do you see some posts on this ahead???????
This afternoon while sewing great pleasure is being found in listening to a book on tape called

The 7 habits of highly successful people.
a very good book!

MUST READ OR AUDIO BOOK it.

We took a nice ride out to the farm lands early this morning chasing the free stuff listed on Craig's List....it was gone when we got there but the kids got to say hello to a horse. It was nice to get out together.
We are just chilling out.

My Mr U. Got a job offer part time at home in the office with his children and his wife at home :)!
...with this fellow I spoke of that is going to help a lot!

YA!
Answered prayer!

In addition he is now having the opportunity for overtime at his regular employment.

YA!
again thank you for your prayers.

It is a gift that we have tasted a
very little bit
of the great suffering that is going on around us in this economy.
Many of you , many all over have and are really suffering.
Commpassion is intensified in the struggles of so many.

I love that our little family is given this chance to gain humility and to understand and to respect the resorces that we are so very privlidge to have.
The kids have gained so much understanding
I JUST LOVE THAT.

It is however a thrill to have the pantry grains stocked and we are still going to act as if we do not have this bit of extra so that we do not squander it.

The kids have all they need for school for now.
We want for nothing.

God is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was talking with Him about how good He is just because he loves us and not just because of all we "GET".

In want or in need he is good simply because He has loved me and holds my heart so tenderly. He pursues me and desired my presence. We all need to be needed and He does need us...He needs to be loved too.
