a little this and that!

Ouch! my left knee is giving me problems......old age? Not sure? Anyway, I woke up thinking I'd be home all day dealing with a hurt knee.....my husband gave me advil and within the hour it was better :) So, we took the younger kids and headed out to Freedom Inn. An assisted living home. Our church was hosting an outreach this morning. A women donated over 500 pieces of clothing to our church. Nice clothing. We set the clothes up and had the ladies of Freedom Inn enjoy a morning of shopping. It was so much fun. I loved every moment of it. The ladies we're so adorable. One in paticular caught my attention. She was just a tiny thing......needed a walked to get around. She was looking for a button down sweater vest. I looked everywhere and couldn't find one! Later there on the table was a beautiful mauve colored button up sweater vest. I took it over to the women. She was so excited :) Her face lit up and she said *I'm taking this.....it's so pretty*

Chris met a wonderful 94 year women. They had a connection and have made plans to visit each other.....What a blessed day :)

How fun! It is very true what you said on my blog. Right now, it's not really about "wants" but "needs", and God knows our wants too, and can make a way for those as well, but our focus is our needs. I'm trying to find a way to make healthy meals on a tighter budget.

My last post was less than a month ago and SO much has changed. Not so much with me personally-but the state of our world is terrifying. I n...
