Well we are still waiting..... waiting for an answer on the claim for health and college benefits, My Boricua is not able to work anymore by doctors orders. It has been hard on Him, He has always been a provider and to keep our mental and marital sanity we go thrifty hunting. I got this Land's End red suede shoes, brand new for $ 4 dlls.
But I hit the jack pot last week at a Salvation Army Store. I almost fainted when I saw this at the table where all the "insignificant" things are placed , ( well it was actually My Boricua who spotted it first) a Channel No. 5 box with the bottom opened. I thought "it is empty" because I couldn't see how much perfume was inside the black bottle.
But it turned out to be a 'refillable' container, My Boricua found that inside was the actual bottle of perfume almost full, oh Blessed is Our Lord!!!! the price? ONLY $ 3.99 dlls. Can you believe it?! What a wonderful gift, You know, I got emotional about this because I wanted this perfume. My Boricua gave me one last year and it is almost gone. Our Lord DOES know our heart desires.
But.... the gifts didn't end there, next to it I found this perfume by Nina Ricci, "L'Air du Temps", almost full, too.
Same price $ 3.99 dlls. I believe they belonged to the same Lady and I think She was a very elegant Lady, and next to it I found this....
A cute box. The bottom says CORT "Quartette" 4-one dram perfumes. Cort cosmetics, Inc. Dist. Stamford, Conn. Same price $ 3.99 dlls.
They have different names, Golden Night, Showers of Flowers, Ce Soir and Romance, all made in The USA!! ;)
I think these gifts were a remainder from Our Lord, since tomorrow My Boricua will have 2 more medical exams for other type of benefits. These gifts were unexpected, beyond my expectations. So I know whatever the results from tomorrow exams and the pending VA Claim, He WILL PROVIDE beyond my expectations.....

Oh Cotty,
I just saw in my feeds that you had posted.!
How wonderful is God? He so overwhelmingly loves us and wants us to fellowship with HIM and give our NEEDS and our Desires of our hearts to Him. When we turn to HIm and give Him the glory for all of our gifts, good things happen. God is Good, all the time, no matter what is going on. He is always working in some way, whether visible to us at the time...or NOT...for our good.
And these little special things - just earthly material things, yet simple little treasures along the way...yes..HE even bestows earthly blessings beyond the spiritual Heavenly blessings that are ours....because we are HIS. Been waiting for any news. I will keep lifting a prayer for God to provide in ways you could not have imagined He would. For remember...NOTHING is too big or impossible for our God who owns Everything.
Hugs to you dear bloggy sister, and WOOT!!!! what awesome finds. I for one, am so thankful for the ones who are first time buyers who when they don't want stuff anymore turn it in to thrifty stores for me and you !!! (second time buyers!!) hurray!
Hugs Cotty.

Hugs to you.... Ann
Thank You Anne Fannie!! and YES! I agree 100% God WILL provide... ;)
What luck to find such deals on pefume.
Thanks Carolina!!!
I love that about God. He does the most intimate things to demonstrate his love for us. This is so cool!
YES! Nannkim, He DOES little things but they mean soooo much to Us.
Your faith is inspiring. Indeed, I also believe the Lord provides for our needs in so many different ways. My family won two contests this summer for free movie tickets (plus concession stand money) and a Toys 'R Us gift certificate, luxuries that had been cut from our budget due to low funds. We never win anything, and to win so many things in such a short period of time to me was definitely a sign that the Lord is taking care of us and his way of saying that he will always provide. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. Un abrazo grande, Minnie
ooops, forgot to say that those shoes are sooo cute! and the perfume bottles are such a great find. we all know they are super-expensive at the department stores.
Hi, Hope you are well, amiga. Just thinking about you and wondering how you and your family are doing.
Minnie
Minnie Thanks for caring. And YES!! The Lord provides for our needs, sometimes we just need "to believe" for those material things. I am glad your familia got some 'little presents from Above'.
Take care my friend. ')
