The People Under The Stairs:

Sour Grapes Make For Bitter Whine

I WAITED patiently and expectantly for the Lord and He inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up out of a horrible pit ( a pit of tumult and of destruction ), out of the miry clay ( froth and slime), and set my feet upon a rock, steadying my steps and establishing my goings. And He has put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.

~ Psalm 40:13

Lord, don't leave me; my God, don't go away. Quickly come and help me, my Lord and Savior.

~ Psalm 38:21-22 NCV

Please take a moment, watch, listen, learn, live

Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.

~Proverbs 16:24

~ Can Money ~

Mood:
Yesterday cans: 13
Yesterday I found: 1 penny

We thank You, God, we thank You - your Name is our favorite word; your mighty words are all we talk about.

~ Psalm 75:1 MSG

Yesterday

Hub turned in the last batch of our collected cans

for 2008

. . . he turned in 42 pounds, they tare 1 pound & at .30 cents a pound our check came to $12.30 . . .

kinda of deceiving when you see all these large bags then get what they are worth, but ah well

. . . something is better then nothing . . . anyhoot, another "resolution" of mine this year is to be more organized & dedicated on saving & tithing

. . . sooooo . . . 1/10 of $12.30 is $1.23 . . . $1.23 tithing + $1.23 saving - $12.30 = $9.84 for the Thrift Store shopping spree for my girls . . . again it does not sound like very much does it? No

not really but who knows what we may find at the Thrift Store . . . the girls are in desperate need of shoes & pants, especially with the bitter winter winds

whipping us all about this time of year

. . . we shall make it a Challenging Treasure Hunt!

I saw a show about the Duggar Family , they recently gave birth to their 18th

child, & the Mother was taking the kids to go to the Thrift Store to get shoes for them . . . the lightbulb

went off above my head as my eyes & heart opened a bit more . . . why not? My girls are lucky to get two pairs a shoe through out the year . . . generally they get a new pair if they out grow or wear out the previous pair, more often then not they wear the one pair out before they out grow it . . . we are Blessed to have a Thrift Store just a bit up the road from where we reside, aprx 2.60 miles . . . when the weather is nice I can easily walk

about there to scope

it out between trips & I bet I will find oodles of cans

on that journey!

So today we will make a trip

up to the bank that the Recycling Center signs out checks from . . . cash it, sort it out to tithing, saving, spending & then adventure up to the Thrift Store to do some bargain searching . . . honestly I am kinda sorta excited

about this adventure . . . my hopes

is not only to find suitable clothing for my girls but maybe . . .just maybe . . . we are helping to show them some money sense . . . know what I mean?

Oh I got to tell ya' this!

New Year's Eve
