Praises of a Wife and Mommy

I know I mentioned that last week we were blessed when someone Ding Dong Ditched us and left us a basket of goodies.  This week another couple from our church stopped by and had all the back to school shopping done for my kids.  My son is not in school yet but they still made sure he got a backpack and some other supplies.  :)   I was blessed beyond words and my kids were so happy.  They each of them the back pack they were eyeing up.   God sure is providing all that we need during this transition as the new pastors.   So how have you been blessed lately?  Or how have you been a blessing to someone else?   Pass on a blessing to someone near you.  :)

Yesterday I  went to Aldi's to go grocery shopping.  I knew it was a bit risky to go after the morning working at the YMCA, but I was determined to get it done.  Titus has been battling a cold and he did not nap at the YMCA so I thought he would maybe sleep at the store.  I was wrong.   I got through to the check out and had to start to hold him and bounce him all the while trying to pack my groceries up so I could get out of there and get him to his crib.  A very nice lady stopped and asked, "miss, may I help you pack your groceries?"  :)  How sweet was that!  You do not see many people stopping from there busy schedules to help others much more and I was extremely blessed by her kindness.  :) I accepted the help and she was so sweet to my daughter and encouraging me that better days out weigh the cranky ones.  :)  She even went a step farther.  After I got to my car and unloaded everything in it she came back around ...

We purchased our crib and crib mattress today!  YAY!  We checked out and then we were staring at the box and our small car and it occurred to us that we will not fit it in our car.  oh no!  Since we dont live to far I thought I can easily walk home with the kids but then a sweet lady said, "We drove our van and can follow you home."  HOW SWEET WAS THAT!!!  So they loaded the crib and mattress in their van and followed us home.  It was truly blessed me today!  It is so nice to know that people are willing to stop in their busy days and help someone out.  They had no idea where we lived so it was super sweet that they would offer.  I am glad we only lived a few blocks away!  :)  THANKS TO THAT COUPLE!  

Last night we went to our local minor league baseball teams game.  It was Titus's first game but this was our 4th time seeing them play the last 2 years.  God sure loves to bless us since every time we have gone we have gotten free tickets... AMEN!  :)  What a blessing.  Earlier this week a different youth pastor in town that my hubby meets with often invited us out to meet the families.  :)   We were on our way when he called and said don't buy your tickets I am stopping to get free tickets for us!  :)  AWESOME!  The first time we went to the ball park it was with our students and we were waiting in line when a  nice lady gave all of us tickets to get in!  :)  YIPPEE!  Then a friend from church is a Realtor and he got lots of free tickets and gave us enough to take the youth group again! :)  Then while I was at the game a dear friend of mine messaged me and said she wants to take us to a game since her...
