This morning dh and I went to the clothing giveaway. I had a lot of grandsons clothes he had outgrown and some things that dh got out of his closet, and some Billy Graham books that I was finished with to donate to the giveaway. I found a few tops for me to wear and a few things for my dd and a few things for my sister. I love giving to help others out and I love getting things that I can use. I found a few shirts and shorts for my grandson. If I had not been led to help others out I would not have gotten some things for myself. God is good.
We left there and went to aldis for some groceries. I feel like I get such good deals when I shop there. We got the equivalent of 7 plastic grocery bags full of groceries and it only cost us 44 dollars.
On the way home we stopped at a yard sale and I bought a beautiful honey brown skirt with yellow flowers scattered randomly over the skirt. It is so pretty.
I aloso bought grandbaby 3 movies and five books all for 3 dollars. GOOD DEAL One of the books was "the old woman that ate a bat" It was so cute and when I took dd the things I had picked up for her I had to read the book to baby. It talks about all the things this old woman eats and on the last page she says 'BURP" and being a typical male child he thought that was funny.
My sister and her family and me and dh and my friends all went to the gospel singing tonight. It was very good time and then the church invited us all to eat with them and the only thing that I could eat was beans. The chicken was fried, chicken and dumpling were made with flour of course. all the desserts were made with flour, biscuits and pies, so the only thing I could eat was some beans. I was disappointed of course but on the other hand I surely didn't overeat or eat high fattening foods. I suppose it is true that there is a silver lining behind the clouds.
Tomorrow is sunday and some of our dear friends is singing in the area and dh and I are going to hear them. I will be in church just not the church that we are members at. I don't have a problemwith that and I hope no one else has a problem either.
Sleep well everyone
God bless
The Beatitudes
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

I knew when I read your title that you'd had a good day, Joy. I love Aldis! The closest one is about 50 miles away, though, so I don't get to go there as often as I'd like.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool thing that giveaway is. is it at a church or something? It sounds neat. I went to a flea market today and got a little cameo pin for 25 cents.
I'm sorry all you could have were beans, but it sounds like you resisted a lot of temptation.
Have a blessed Sunday! Love ya, and God bless!
