Emotional Day (Week)

First I would like to say that I just read the update to Madeline's blog and she has past away. She was 3. I had just started reading about her I'd say a week or two ago. This makes me very sad (tearing up here), but happy because I know this little one is in heaven with Jesus AND she has no more pain. Also, I checked Noah's blog and he is back in the hospital. Please pray for this family...his mom is going to have a beautiful little girl soon.
Today we went shopping early because they were calling for snow so off we went. I went to one store where the shredded cheese decided to break all over my cart and a can of orange juice decided to leak. Afterwards, we went to another store and I had asked for cash back. Thinking it was in my hand with the receipts the store clerk handed me, I left. I got to the van and realized I didn't have the $20.00. I went back in and told her .... as she looked at me like I was lying...so she had to close up her lane and go into the "locked room" to count her money. I started to cry. It might seem silly, but to me, $20.00 is sometimes alot of money especially if you lose it and you're on a tight budget. The clerk came out with the $20.00 (Thank you Lord!) and told me "Thank you...I would have gotten into alot of trouble if they found out you didn't get your money." Also, yesterday while stopping at the grocery store (the first of my 2 day shopping), I smacked my head on the hanging scale...it was right level with my head. (I did want to laugh out loud). THEN, I walked to the flour aisle and dropped flour all over my cart.
The best thing that happened this week was on Sunday. Sunday night we bought some gift certificates from our church bookstore and some books. The bill came to $55.14. Afterwards, we went home and my husband opened up an envelope that was addressed to him....a check for $55.00!!!! God is so good....he knew we could use that and he supplied it right away!
Psalm 145:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
We are finally getting snow!! It is beautiful. I took some pics. of the kids (and dog)...I will post later.
