Thankful on a Thursday Evening

This week I was reminded of how merciful God is to His children. He is even merciful to people that do not follow His ways. We were reading in the book of Daniel this week about the dream that King Nebuchadnezzar (had to look that name up to spell it correctly.) had with the tall tree that was cut down. If you remember, the tree was actually a symbol of the king himself. Daniel told the king that he was going to be removed from the throne for seven years. Even though God could have taken the kingdom away from Nebuchadnezzar completely, He showed mercy. In the end, the king realizes it is God who really has all the power.

I am thankful for God's mercy to me. It seems like I mess up a lot, but when I go to God, telling Him how I have made a mess of things, He shows such sweet mercy, picks me back up, dusts me off, and sets me on the right path again. I am so thankful He is always there, willing to forgive.

Candle Giveaway!

Since my husband is working on a Saturday; since it's been a cloudy, rainy day; and since it's been almost two months since I have done a blog post. I am doing a GIVEAWAY! Carl is working on a Saturday evening for a co-worker, but he will have Labor Day off. That will be nice because Carl will be able to stay at our family reunion as long as he likes. For the past few years, he has only been able to stay for an hour before heading into work. Instead of staying home by myself, Mom and I went shopping. We went to a consignment store called Off The Hanger, where I bought this pair of shoes for only $6:   Cute, huh?   We also went to Bath and Body Works. They were having a Labor Day Sale. The 3-wick candles are 2 for $20 this weekend. The mini candles are 2 for $5, and they also have lots of other things on sale. I love it when they have the candles on sale. I absolutely love the candles at Bath and Body Works!   I bought these two large candles.
