Friends and free magazines

Hello, guys! Today I'm thankful for:

The fact that my friend D came to church with us this morning. The message really spoke to her, and while she did not come to a decision, the Holy Spirit was really dealing with her. At one point she was crying so much she got up and left to go to the bathroom. I went to check on her, and she asked me to come back in with her and sit in the back. I agreed, and she really seemed to be thinking hard about what was being said. After the service we all went out to my parents' house and had lunch, and she hung out with us until it was time to go back to church. She declined to go to the evening service, but I think she will come with us again.

Nick and I got most of the flooring in our kitchen pulled up tonight. All that we have left are the areas under the dishwasher and our pantry cabinet.

A few weeks ago I signed up for a free subscription to Martha Stewart Living. I had forgotten about it completely (and in fact can't even remember where I found the offer), so it was a neat surprise to get my first issue in the mail yesterday, especially since I was doubtful at the time that it would even show up!

And I'm grateful to have read this post. I needed to hear it. We are facing some real financial needs right now, and while I know, know, KNOW God is going to provide (He always does!) in His time, just when we need it, it helps to be reminded of it too.

Good night, everyone!
