Mission #1
Stepping in to a department store to see if the coats were on sale, I discovered they were still only 1/2 off of $80. Not needing one immediately but knowing that the Little Lady's coat would only fit for a few more months, I decided to just wait until I could hit the odd-store-hours of a Consignment Store.
Mission #2
The Little Miss also needed a coat. Since we travel and are never sure what part of country we might have to go to, I had in the back of my mind that I would like to look for her a snow suit. She is 15 months so I wanted something that was in a 2T size simply because I wanted her to be able to wear it this year and next. I remember thinking it was probably going to be an impossible task. So, I said "Lord, Help me to find something for the girls eventually!" Then, I walked out of the department stores.
Mission Accomplished:
Several days later, I walked into the odd-store-hour Consignment Shop to find that God had them them waiting on me on the very day that I went! But, honestly why should I be surprised? God is good all the time!
White Coat $12.00
Teal Snow Suit $8.50
Oh isn't that a wonderful blessing!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great deals!! Love the color of the snowsuit! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessing! Great finds.
ReplyDeleteThat's wonderful! I have to say that I don't tend to think of praying for help in finding clothing I need. As far as the cashmere sweater I recently got at the thrift store, I had wanted to go shopping there for quite a while, and kept getting thwarted, so it was good that I went that day!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me like you prayed, and then didn't worry about it, and that's how God seems to work best, isn't it? You ask, and He concerns Himself with it, while you are concerning yourself with your immediate duties.
