God Abundantly Provides

I mentioned briefly in an earlier post how I have been working on bargain shopping lately. I got home from a stop at Target today and this was the conversation I had with Daniel:

Me: "Guess how much all of this (9 pks of diapers and 9 large pks of wipes) cost?"
Daniel: "Ahhh...$50" (a pretty low guess, but he knows how I like to shop
Me: (After a game of lower/higher) "Just Under $16!!"

Me: "Wait...that $16 also included 5 jars of peanut butter! And I have a $5 gift card that I earned with the purchases left"

I have no plans on turning our blog into a deal-of-the-day, but this was too good not to share how God is providing. Just this past Sunday, I was able to give one of the "Senior Saints" in our church a bag full of toiletries and nonperishable food items. I am pretty sure she left lipstick on my face when she kissed me and there was a thank you note in our mailbox by Tuesday. If any of you would like to join us in this coupon/drugstore/etc game, it will not only save your family a significant amount of money on grocery items, but we also desire to help out many of the seniors at church that are on a fixed income. And, with the assisted living complex right next to the church plant meeting place, there is tremendous potential for ministry in sharing of our abundance.
