Thankful Thursdays

I am going to try to do Thankful Thursdays,(mind willing of course) where I state every Thursday at least one thing I am thankful for. Today's Thankful Thursday thing that I am thankful for is a little "big" thing that happened Tues. Let me start off first by saying....God is good and He knows the desires of our hearts, and provides for our needs, not to mention He gives us "wants" sometimes too!

Anyway, I am very fortunate to have a thrifty husband. He is thrifty...not cheap. There is a difference! He is so funny, he doesn't go into a store, particularly Wal Mart, Target, etc....without finding their clearance isles. He is also an awesome garage saler, and he never complains about shopping. He may not always like the particular store we are in but he will not complain! A couple of weekends ago we were in Amarillo, TX. (closest big city to us approx. 45 mi. away) shopping at Best Buy. We have been wanting a new microwave, to replace our older VERY small one. We looked and saw a couple of them that we liked. We discussed it and ultimately decided that neither of us had a "peace" about making a purchase of one that day. I just knew that God had a better deal for us in His timing.

Tuesday night, while I was at church at Women's group, he and our 1 yr. old, went to Wal Mart to pick up some things we were running low on. As per his usual....he stopped by some clearance shelves in the front of the store, and there were a couple of microwaves like what we had been looking for. One in particular, was marked down to $85....a good deal for a brand new, name brand microwave. He started to get it, then thought, no we really don't need to spend $85 on a microwave right now. Well, he walked on, about 2 isles over, and they came over the intercom and stated that all clearance items at the front of the store were now an additional 50% off the already marked clearance prices....!!!!! He whipped that basket back around and went and got us that microwave we were wanting, (not needing yet) for $42! WOOOOHOOOO Thank you God, and thank you to my husband Ronnie, for being thrifty and obedient to God!!!! So, that is my Thankful Thursday thing for the week. What's yours? Blessings my friends!
