Bookstore-Book Giveaway

I have a Christian Bookstore (pictured above) in my spare bedroom.  Let me explain why.

The owner passed away, she was a friend of the family.   I offered to help my sister sell it.   It almost sold as a whole store, but with this economy it fell through.

Now I have 30 cases of books left.  I started listing one case on Amazon after a year of frustration.  We will donate some of it....

I will giveaway a book of your choice (less than $10) to the person who comments the most frequently during February.

1. Different posts
2. Comments about the post
3. New or old posts

Ok I love my blogging friends who take the time to comment!

Burning Bush Bookstore

Bored and Lonely....

Now that I Finally have the house to myself, I am bored and lonely!

I sound like a spoiled child whining!  I laugh at my childlike behavior.

I am sooo thankful, relieved, compassionate, humbled as I gripe.

I am reminded of the children of Israel so I will keep this session short.

Trying to remedy my boredom, I ventured out to the chiro.  It felt good to drive again (with hand controls)

I drove the van that was pronounced DEAD by several mechanics.  It is running good for now.

Remember I am learning this "One day at a time" even with the old van.

What am I complaining about?  I need to clean house, ebay, amazon, pay bills, talk on the phone, watch TV, go to the store, Blogging also :)

ps.  After posting this, I have been very busy today doing the list above.   Be careful what you wish for!

Hubs Got a Job!

He is at work now!  I had forgotten how nice it is to say that phrase.

God takes care of us again!

A few lessons for me, during 8 months of unemployment:

1.  If you have a job, be Thankful.
2.  When applying for Food Stamps, do not judge.
3.  Some stuff is not necessary (less TV, phone etc)
4.  Use more blankets to stay warm
5.  Less stress when Hubs would do odd jobs.
6.  Discovered kind people willing to help.
7.  It is Wonderful to keep House payments current.
8.  Time to reconnect with Hubs when marriage was drifting some?
9.  Having the house Alone, just Me when hubs was busy.
10. Compassion has increased again!

I again learn the lesson, to Wait on God....Really it is One day at a time!

Handicap Helpers for Me!

I am sharing a few items that make my life easier as I travel this MS  road with obstacles.

These small things do help me to live a 'normal' life.

The shower chair is so nice when my balance and fatigue make showering difficult.

I give Hubs credit for finding these aides to help me be independent.

Sons Marine Helicopter Repel

I received a letter from my Marine Boot Camp son.  This photo helps to remind me that he is not stuck here.

He describes the Helicopter Repel Wall (5 stories high?), when he had a fear of heights.   "I am on the edge of this tower with the harness I made, not knowing if it actually works?"

"I'm literally hanging off this ledge, step off the ledge backwards to a small bar.  Lean back parallel to the ground, Kick off really hard so you don't hit your face on the helicopter bar.  I went all the way down the rope, I did it."

I know he is safe, during training.  My son reminds us, we can accomplish tasks which seem impossible.

I am so proud of him, and our Marines!
