Clothing Manna from Heaven

This week has been a clothing God send.  Yesterday after Jacob's Dr appt  we ran into the Walmart for one thing.  Passing the boys clothing section.  This outfit for $3.  Boys sweatpants and sweatshirts $1 each.  I got two $3 outfits (they only had 2 styles) that Curtis desperately needed, and some $1 sweatpants and sweatshirts for Curt and Doug.  Passing the girls dept.  I got this dress for $1.  The tights were a splurg for $5.  I bought her two new dresses.  So for less than $20 I got 3 outfits for Curtis, one for Doug, and 2 outfits for Maggie.  Why didn't I buy one for Jacob...well cause he was being a 13 year old poopy head!!!

The best of all.  Last week on Mon (I think) Doug came downstairs with high waters on.  He had spurted out of all his jeans. Now at least an inch too short.  Way too short!  I sighed and thought of having to drag everyone clothes shopping...the whinning...the money...the frustration!!!  Wed night a dear sister from church left a bag of clothes in our car.  We got home and low and behold!!!!  6 pairs of Jeans that fit Doug perfectly!  Perfectly!!!!  Plus enough stuff to get us through summer too. 

We have been given clothing from Heaven!  Definately.
