Excerpt: The Pursuit of God, The Human Thirst for the Divine, A.W. Tozer

O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need of further grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, The Triune God, I want to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, that so I may know Thee indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, "Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away." Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wondered so long. In Jesus' name. Amen

Thrifty Bargains!

Had a WONDERFUL day with Tim thrifting in Charlotte, NC.  We like to change it up a bit from time to time on his day off and try some other thrift stores in different parts of the state.  So, today was Charlotte's turn.  Last night I found the Goodwill stores in Charlotte and mapped out our route.  We ate breakfast out before we headed to Charlotte.


Here's my bargains for the day:

Martha Stewart 12x12 cutting mat, List price $18.49.  My price, $0.99!  CHA-CHING!  There was no price on it and the clerk at the register asked what it was.  I told him it was for crafts.  When he quoted the price of $0.99 I said, "I'll take it!"  :D  Love those kinds of clerks!  :D

Got these for use in VBS.  I'll have to sort the rubber bands, but that's OK.

FANTASTIC deal on these 4 rubber stamps.  The prices listed on them total up to $55.65.  My price, $3.99!  CHA-CHING!!  :D

I LOVE Jim Shore products!  So pretty!  The price tag on this was $25.00.  My price, $4.99!  CHA-CHING!!  That might not be a great price, but it was a price I was willing to pay for this item!  :D


These 2 ceramic trivets are also Jim Shore products.  The stickers on them were $3.99 each.  My price, $1.99!  CHA-CHING!  Not a GREAT deal, but what I was willing to pay for them.  :D

Liz posted some photos on facebook of a beautiful red flower that she grew.  We were trying to figure out what hers were.  I was thinking the guy who gave them to me from church said they were hollyhocks.  But someone said they were gladolias instead.  I checked to see if my gladolias were blooming yet when we got home.  Unfortunately, this stalk was broken and laying on the ground.  So, I broke it off and brought it in the house to trim up and put in a vase of water.  I am hoping the other buds go ahead and bloom!



Not very long after we got home, I found Tim like this.  We had a list of 8 Goodwills to go to in Charlotte.  After the 7th one he was done and we headed home.  Since it was going to be almost 4 when we got home, we stopped and ate at Mi Pueblo.  He regained some strength and we stopped at the Goodwill on University Parkway and then came home.  When he woke up I asked him if he slept.  He said yes and that I wore him out!  :D


Supper at Mi Pueblo

And, that's it for another thrifty Thursday!
Nite!
