Do you ever feel like God is buttering you up??

I do. Ever since we moved into this new house (that I love) He's been working His way down my wish list. "You wish you had a dishwasher? Well here you go, here is a free, working dishwasher, delivered to your home, manual and all. "


"Oh? You'd like a chest freezer? Would this one do? Just go pick it up from the neighbors, if you don't mind!"


"And while you're there, didn't you say you wanted a wood stove? Would this beautiful antique work for you?"

"More seating for the living room? How about a bent wood rocker? (once again, free with delivery!)"


"Hm, and island for the kitchen? Do you think this huge piece of butcher block would work?"


"What to use for legs? What about that solid chest of drawers that you have to move to install the dish washer?"


"You would like a kitchen hutch? How about two? Rock Maple, early American reproduction, just happened to belong to your husbands much beloved grandmother? (once again delivered to your door, and this time installed to prevent tipping should anyone feel the need to climb up to that attractive little cookie jar)"



He has not delivered a washing machine to my door step, but totally out of the blue I received a check in the mail that should cover it, and if I play my cards right a dryer too!

So, what do you think I should ask for next? Do you think a car would be too much? ;) Maybe I should just say THANK YOU LORD.

Also, thank you to all those he's been working through, Krista, Craig, Ron, Jan, Monica, Chris, and Joan!

Wow!
I love the hutches--they look great! And I just can't believe all the other stuff...even though I already knew about most of them!

yeah! I have been delighted by each piece as it has come, but putting it all in a list like that I'm really kind of floored!

The real beauty is that you are so grateful for the way that God has blessed you.

I hope a car is next.
