I took one of my kids into the dollar store to get a birthday present for a friend.
The medical bills are mounting and while we planned for that pre-China, the regular budget is a bit stressed. And when that happens, the little extras like treats and non-edibles are suspended. So I had no intention of buying anything. I am holding to once a week at the grocery store and doing well.
But as I was browsing I came across this plaque.
When I am not sure about what life is throwing at me.
When I cannot make sense of anything.
When I am afraid.
Since my spending was suspended, I put it down. Picked it up. Put it down. Turned it over and saw that the price was $2. Decided it would look good on the mudroom wall.
I caved and decided that half a gallon of milk was worth the inspiration and hope I would feel every time I walked by this plaque on my wall.
I went up to the register, waffled some more and then decided to buy it.
It rang up as $1.20.
I laughed out loud.
Hebrews 11:1
Still learning to be SURE and CERTAIN.
Hey, I think that verse could apply to fostering too!!! Praying for Joshua's upcoming procedures! On a side note--I wish I could have general anesthesia for my dental work. :) I hate the dentist!
ReplyDeletethat is one of my very favorite verses and one I have turned to often in the last few months. I know you will all stop and see that blessing as you enter and leave your home and your faith in this time will grow. and it *will* look lovely in your mudroom!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you were able to get it at such a good price <3
ReplyDeleteReally enjoy your blog. Will be praying for Joshua! My son will be in the hospital next week also and can't leave the hospital until he clears the chemo` that is if he qualifies for chemo in the first place. Oh what a journey we are on...at jethenrosjourney.blogspot.com
