Poor, Wet Pack Mule...

...that was me just a few short hours ago. Poor, since we've had to spend A LOT of unexpected money on the truck...wet due to the rain that's been pouring down for days...and a pack mule because I lugged in tons of groceries.


The long walk from the truck to the house in the rain with groceries...at least it seems long under those conditions!!


My lovely pile of wet groceries.


Rain, rain, and more rain


I look thrilled, right...nice and wet...


But I am BLESSED above all. Ben was able to fix a lot of what was wrong with the car for MUCH less than the dealership was estimatin
g. Blessed because we still do have money in the bank. Blessed because there is rain falling and not snow, which would have made getting groceries much more difficult. Blessed because I have an amazing husband who cares for me. Blessed to have wonderful family and friends. Blessed to have an adorable pup who is such a good companion when it is just the two of us in the house. Blessed to have used some of the food I bought to make jambalaya that is cooking away right now and should taste amazing for dinner!! Blessed most of all to have a Lord who cares about me as a unique person and loves me beyond measure.

Hi!! Now I can stalk you on your blog :)

Sorry your Sunday was so wet and soggy, but praise the Lord that you see all His blessings in the midst of the rain. Hope you enjoyed the jambalaya!

It was so great meeting you guys. I'm very thankful Jon & Jess have you and Ben as friends, and I hope Chris and I get to spend more time with you in the future.

Have a great week - looking forward to watching how the house comes!
Love,
Kate
