Good Morning!

It's very early here in cold and wintry Indiana!! I'm not sure how cold the temp is because I couldn't see the thermometer. It's still too dark out. But I do know it is cold enough the dogs couldn't wait to get back inside!! I think their feet were chilly. The snow is falling as I write this. Winter is really here now.

Yesterday was an interesting day for me. It started out kind of off kilter when I woke up with a horrible migraine. But as the day went along things progressively got better. I love when the Lord does that for us! By mid afternoon I had some fun opening the mail. I love getting the mail!! I never know what lovely fun surprises I will find there from samples & coupons I have sent away for, to prizes I have won in contests, even to full-size products I get to test and keep. Oooh, or the wonderful bargains I find to buy for little to nothing.

Well the mail proved to be very humorous to me. There stacked up in my pile were 23 little envelopes all the same size and all from the same company. I just looked at it and giggled. A while back I was having fun playing an instant win game that was sponsored by Sobe. I won some flip flops that are too stinkin cute, a t-shirt that I shared in one of my Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes, and a sports jacket. I also won a whole lot of free bottles of Sobe. You could only win one at a time and each coupon for the free bottle came separately. So sitting there in my stack of mail were 23 free Sobe coupons. Here is a picture of them after I got them all opened up.

The really funny thing was that each and every one of those coupons expired the same day I got them in the mail. So Jason and I went to the sotre and the head cashier was kind enough to let us purchase all 23 in one transaction. I wish I had taken a picture of the faces of a few people who were watching the whole thing. It was very comical! But I am thanking the Lord that He got the coupons to me in time to use them. Jason is very fond of some of the flavors they have, so that is even more of a blessing.

Before the day was over the Lord even surprised me more with some fun instant win game wins. Boy that's a mouthful! I won a bag of Halls Cough Drops, a box of Mike's & Ike's, and a box of Hot Tamales! So some more goodies to look forward to in the mail.

I am so grateful to the Lord for how He is providing for our family now. Have to admit it is extremely creative and unusual, but I am not going to complain. Neither is my husband when I get to take him out to lunch this week to Olive Garden with the $25 gift card I earned for doing some surveys.

I hope your day is filled with blessings and joy! I know mine will be!
