Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

God is so good, once again He has provided

Last week I finally got out the baby clothes, and got a very rude shock, after six babies they all needed throwing. Really everything was completely worn, wouldn't at all keep this winter baby warm, and I really needed to start afresh.

So I told dh I was off to the garage sales, with a prayer to the Lord that I would find something off we, children and I went. Only one garage sale had baby items so we raced there. What a find! All 000 and 00 which is what I needed, many neutral's also lots of girls, so if we have a girl we'll be right. Summer and winter items, I bought 170 little items many never worn, some with tags still on them, I can't fathom how this mother could have bought so many clothes, she still had many in her cupbords Any how it was certainly God providing for me, the price!! $55, What can I say, I'm a good bargainer, I also bought a a rocker for $5 which I needed.

It was a fantastic morning for us, we also found a bed for dd2 for only $5 and the children found a soccer/pool table for a song. Ds9 found a wooden desk for his room and of course some books

God is so good

Your story reminds me of the saying, "You can never out-do God in generosity."

What a wonderful blessing for you!

Erin,

That is just fabulous! God is definitely always looking out for us, but it's so nice to have some serious tangibles for us to see!

Erin,

To paraphrase a colloquialism from the 60's: "keep the faith, babe".

Excellent example of how God provides.Thanks for sharing....
