Since we have moved into our house two years ago; I wanted to make a Big flower bed right behind the office/playroom. I never convinced myself to dig it out until my mom and grandpa gave me a bunch of perennials to plant. So, last Monday while the children were napping I started digging in the hot sun. It took me two and a half hours to dig. Tuesday (while the children were napping) I got the privilege of taking seven wagon loads of heavy dirt back behind the shed. I got my workout for the week! After that was all done; I started to plant my flowers. I realized that I was going to need a few more so I packed up the boys and off we went to visit a few nurseries. While we were out shopping for flowers; I stopped at Walmart to get my pictures. As I was walking in a noticed a cart full of lillies that I wouldn't mind having! They would go great with the other ones in the other flower bed in the back of the house too. I asked the guy how much they were. He told me to take them; I asked him again, "For how much?" He proceeded to tell me that they get more money donating their left over flowers than sale them for really cheap. I hit the jackpot! He gave me 8 different colored lillies, 5 mums and 4 bushes for FREE!!!! I was so excited I called my mom who was in Gatlinburg with a friend and told her that got God showed me He loves me! He gave me flowers. God made my day!




God also gave me a wonderful family that I am very thankful for! Our love grows deeper each day!
