I see your comments as God providing ... even to having the cash when you stop by Goodwill and there is something you need - and sometimes just something pretty to boost the moral. I think that is lovely. God is so very good! "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of Lights in whom is no variation or shadow of turning." Keep up the good work!

For those who struggle along in life it is a wonderful thing to pick up words of encouragement when it seems like all you can see is the dirt road in front of your face. On days when I find things difficult, I usually come to your blog and feel like I have found someone who has walked a difficult road before me and I come away with a glimmer of hope. I am so glad that you write and share your heart.

I found I have a copy of the J.B.Phillips translation of the New Testament. It was owned by a very dear friend of mine who has since gone to be with the Lord, but she left me the best thing - her books!!Susan Humestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14374042568634619411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-70226778849585252172013-03-05T18:12:25.627-05:002013-03-05T18:12:25.627-05:00My own blog was becoming full with spamming notes ...My own blog was becoming full with spamming notes so I did also go back to word 'identification'... sorry.

I am not in your position financially, but I know that God could choose at any time to take us through that, and I want to be be found ready and faithful. I glean a lot of encouragement and good ideas from your writing. I know that if I learn to live frugally now, then if and when I need to, it will not be so difficult on my family.<br />I love all your pretty home decor items and I especially love Victoria!<br />Have a lovely day and God bless you and your family!Jennifer Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552811423957687020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-35016556117479591892013-03-05T16:58:47.842-05:002013-03-05T16:58:47.842-05:00To the anonymous person who said she wouldn't ...To the anonymous person who said she wouldn't be commenting much due to the word verification: I find that if I cannot read/type it correctly it gives me a different word until I can. The numbers are awfully tiny though, aren't they? I am reminded of an older woman who asked her younger friend to help her with her computer problems because she was SURE there was a hacker IN it. She wanted the hacker OUT. I laugh but with all this crazy new technology I do not understand how to use most of it and don't plan on learning. <br />Brenda, I kind of envy you your hunkering down. I suppose the winter is getting rather tiresome though. But it is the Lord who gives it and He is good. I know you are not complaining - just ready for spring. :-)<br />VickyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-40513771664180569652013-03-05T16:15:32.828-05:002013-03-05T16:15:32.828-05:00Won't be commenting much with the spam words. ...Won't be commenting much with the spam words.

Thankfully the pantry is full (thanks to your helpful suggestions), the children have done their emergency preparedness chores, and our home is now as ready as it can be. I'm sorry you've been so badly spammed - that's happening with my blog too, though to a lesser extent. It can be discouraging for sure, but it par for the course in this day and age. Well the children are getting lunch ready for us, so my time of blog reading is up for now! May the Lord continue to be your portion and your provider! He is forever faithful!Heather Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563913535839786305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-61788372583977676302013-03-05T12:40:52.897-05:002013-03-05T12:40:52.897-05:00Hello, Although I don't blog, I enjoy your blo...Hello, Although I don't blog, I enjoy your blog. As our economical/financial situation is practically identical to yours, I easily relate. So, I hope this doesn't sound hateful. But after mentioning a purchase (such as clothes from Goodwill) you always seem to include a negative statement (e.g.,cash which I rarely have). You seem to dwell on negative aspects which I find myself doing at times also. Many people are worse off than we are financially.

I'm so disappointed. <br /><br />I enjoyed reading your "answers" to peoples' questions...It is so helpful to know where people are "coming from". <br /><br />I used Phillips back in the day. One particular verse has stuck in my mind - Romans 12:2 "Don't let the world squeeze you into its mold" is the way I recall it.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.com
