~ Thrift Store, Tithing, Smoking & Pies ~

  • Mood:
  • Yesterday cans: 7
  • Yesterday I found: 1 penny
 
 
 Let the whole world bless our God and loudly sing His praises. Our lives are in His hands, and He keeps our feet from stumbling.
~ Psalm 66:8-9 NLT
 
We took the girls  up to The Thrift Store Saturday & I got to say I was a bit disappointed  . . . I think in my minds eyes I was expecting to find everything at once, ya' know what I mean? But reality is . . . you may or you may not  . . . reality on Sat. was "not"  . . . we did get our oldest  two shirts & a pair of shoes which is good I suppose, if she wears them   , we are still at the stage of "I want to get something. I don't want to pass up on the chance of getting someting so I will buy ANYTHING!" That total came to $10.60+ . . . argh!  Well I reckon this will be a true treasure hunt challenge for me . . . I am up tp it for you never know what you just may find!
 
Tithing? Well I have taken the 1/10 for savings & 1/10 for tithing out of the can  money & am putting that aside . . . on the paycheck? mmmm, not this week  I am afraid  . . . this is where I am on the fence . . . you need to save & you need to tithe ALL THE TIME, not just when you are "able" too . . . like so many others our "able" is more not then often . . . I have Faith, I know God will provide for us, He always has & He always will but I have to be truthful . . . when Hub's paycheck comes in & most of it is gone already it can be hard to take a bit more . . .  . . . well I have Faith so I know what I need to do, I need to talk  to God more about this, ask for His advice, request His guidance . . . my thought is tithing does not have to be a certain steady amount, it just should be, know what I mean? So presently even thou we are not able to do the 1/10th I would like to it is a goal we can shoot for  . . .
 
Smoking? I have not offically quit  yet . . . Hub is giving me the run a round . . . "I don't want you to quit" . . . "Are you still smoking?" . . . I think he just likes to see my head spin about! So no I have not offically quit  but on the other hand I have cut down dramtically . . . I only smoke a couple in the morning  then spend the rest of the day thinking about a cigarette!!! arrgghhh  . . . someone told me that you will think about a cig every three minutes  . . . HOW TRUE IS THAT!!! I will be going along real fine, feeling confident, think I have done real good, a lot of time has passed, then look at the clock  & see I haven't smoked a cig for 15 minutes! ugh  Time goes really slow when you are trying to avoid some things   . . . one thing for sure this "experience" has opened my eyes  to people & their addictions . . . I dabbled with drugs in my youth  , but again just like with drinking I am so very Blessed  that I never became addicted . . . when I hear of people with drug addictions & I see the effect it has on them I always thought . . . "come on now, you need to stop! "  Now I have a vague . . . a very vague idea of what they just may be going through . . . It is incredibly amazing what we put our bodies through for a nasty habit . . . the addiction does not just happen over nite, for that matter our body fights  us when we begin yet we keep it up, then when we are seeking to stop our body fights  us again . . . I really Pray  that my children  will stay strong & not bow down & cave in to addictions . . . . you know what a funny bit, actually more a not funny bit, is that I have discovered? The pain in my chest/lungs  . . . I thought I would be feeling more of a relief . . . the chest/lung area would be so pleased not to have smoke invading the area . . . the effect on me has been opposite! As much as I am not wanting to lean toward the "patch" I am now realizing that the nicotine has had different effects on me then I am willingly to admit . . .
 
Thank You  J'laine  for your words of support! I really appreciate  them! As I stated I don't want to quit  but I know I should quit . . .  . . . again I am going to turn to the Lord  & really have to fight  the Devil  on this one!!!!
 
Thank You  Beeba  for your thoughts on those pie  pans! I love 'em  ! But what a puzzler  they are?!!! I found one company called Crusty Pie but it is located over in Halifax, West Yorkshire, UK  . . . I wrote  them an e-mail & they confirmed they were not theirs  . . . someone mentioned there was a Crusty Pie Co. listed in Washington DC & they were active at least as late as 1996 but I can not locate any info on them  . . . I am thinking Crusty Pie on the bottom is more then likely not a company but perhaps just a phrase placed on there . . . I was thinking County Fairs but . . . well I don't know  . . . again I do thank You for your thoughts!
 
~ May you ALWAYS be Blessed & may you ALWAYS Bless others ~
