I just love how God shows HIS love to us,
even in the little things!
This past Thanksgiving we had a full table -
a kitchen table that seated 6 -
with 10 around it,
and mom standing by the dishwasher
eating Thanksgiving dinner.
Soon after Thanksgiving I told a friend,
"a new vehicle can wait -
we need a kitchen table that can seat our
entire family."
A few weeks later -
guess what God provided!
Oh yes!
A table that seats 10!
(yes, in a few days we will have 11 around the table-
but with 3 teens there is usually at least one missing.)
6 chairs,
one long bench!

6 chairs,
one long bench!
It fit in our little kitchen
And all for $140!
Thank you Jesus!
We have already had great meal times, homework times,
play-doh times...
and made new friends too!
And then a few little ones
(well, three out of the four)
were complaining that they had outgrown their bikes -
and well, we couldn't argue with them,
they truly had!
Thinking we would have to break down and
spend the money on bikes -
one neighbor girl had gotten a new bike for Christmas
and brought her old bike over for Jailyn!
Perfect fit!
and then,
a week later ...
Donovan and Elijah were out riding their little bikes,
Conner went out to check on them and
asked where they had gotten the new bikes.
Conner went out to check on them and
asked where they had gotten the new bikes.
Me: "Ummmm - they don't have new bikes"
Conner: "ummmm - yes, they do."
Another neighbor gave the boys 2 of their old bikes!
Needless to say our kids are beyond excited!
and mom and dad -
we are very, very thankful!
Thank you friends!
and thank you Jesus for filling not only our needs -
but our wants too!
