Week Eight of home repairs ends in many huge Thanks. The Lord has blessed us once more with progress and much needed hardware :)
Last
week & this week I spent much time at the swamp tearing out more
walls and dividing salvageable items from ruined. Being able to borrow
my dad's truck to haul off demolition material & trashed possessions
was a huge blessing. The gratitude I have for my health increased
greatly when I realized how much was getting accomplished :-)
With
the largest majority of the walls stripped to studs, the guys working
can get to the additional areas that need repair and the electrician can
continue to rewire the house.
On Monday, I was blessed to meet
some kind-hearted people at my son's school. On Wednesday, I found a
cute little bathroom vanities at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore in
Maryville. For under $70 we have vanities, Praise God!
When
I left that location, I stopped by another location on the chance there
may be affordable kitchen cabinets. I had never realized how expensive
kitchen cabinets were until I attempted to locate some that would fit
our tiny budget. God blessed us again though :-)
At the other location, I
found a set in decent shape for a more than reasonable price. I walked
out of there a happily blessed owner of cabinets for less than $340 (tax
included)!! Overcome with thanks and praise to God, I happily drove to
pick the kids up :-)
After
acquiring my oldest son, I drove to pick up my youngest. He had an
envelope for me. When I opened it, my oldest son began to cry & I
teared up also...there was a gift card from a local grocery store inside
the envelope with $100 loaded onto it!! Yet again I was praising God
for loving us so sweetly. My hope increases!
