Little blessings

I keep a composition notebook on our bookshelf here at home. I think I got it for .99 at Walgreens upon moving to IA last summer. The point of the book was to record each and every blessing we experienced as a family. Right away it felt like we were filling out pages as we watched the Lord provide "things" and people...

We've written paragraphs about cars, furniture, money and food - and, I never thought I would have a page in our "Blessings Book" about toilet paper, but, God can bless however he wants to!


We were given this the other day...

(note: my camera keeps stamping the wrong date...annoying, but, disregard!)

Yep - toilet paper...and a LOT of it. There were additional packages other places in our house that didn't make it to the picture. But, I think you get the point. A generous friend of ours had a "surplus" and wanted to share. What a unique blessing, right?! I get a giggle each time I think about how funny this friend must have looked buying carts full of nothing else but TP. But, what a blessing this is to us! TP is expensive and another thing I can cross of our grocery list for this month. Praise the Lord for all his blessings...but, today, especially for our pile of TP!

That's awesome! I have to admit, one of the most annoying things to run out of is TP--it's like $10 when you have to buy more, and it's not like you can just wait til later!
I love the blessing book idea!

I do that, too - in my homemaking journal. It is wonderful to see God's blessings! TP is a great blessing!! It looks as if you may not have to buy it for longer than a month, too! {grin}

What a great idea with the blessing book! I think TP would be a huge blessing, too!

Yay for free stuff, especially toilet paper! Looks like you're well stocked for awhile!
