I received an unusual phone call from a friend the other day. Unusual in that she was offering me an entire living room suite. How fun is that!!!! I think I have mentioned before that our sofa and loveseat had gone from chic to shabby. Not much we could do about it at this stage of our life so we were just living with it. Then I get this phone call offering "new" to me furniture. The offer included a sofa, loveseat, wingback chair, end table, 4 pictures, even towels and wash clothes, blanket, shower curtain and liner.
We picked it all up the next evening and I spent the following day "playing" house. It was fun to watch the living room being trasformed. God has used the big hearts of people to bless our family and my heart is full of gratitude.
I recently painted our bedroom and bath from it's original color of white. Original as in never been painted since we moved in many years ago. The picture doesn't really reveal the color and the name of the color may not either (Gobi desert) but we sure are enjoying the new shade.
Lovin my "G" picture from Hobby Lobby.
So there you go...a little window into what my house looks like. I hope you have enjoyed the tour.

What a blessing! It is surprising the ways that God works to bless us for 'His ways are above our ways and His thoughts are above our thoughts."
