Day Four

I've been cooking oatmeal and then putting it into single serving microwaveable bowls to have for breakfasts.  No more packets of instant oatmeal.  I bought a jar of applesauce and a can of peaches at Aldi to make my own chunky peach applesauce.  It's good on the oatmeal.  Sean came home from the One Thing conference saying he wanted a certain winter coat.  He needs a coat and normally I would have taken him to the store to look for one, but instead I told him he had to either get a used one or buy a new one himself.  Today, he and Hannah went to Plato's Closet and he found a great coat for $18.  It's perfect and looks great on him.  I gladly paid for it.

Sean and I went and got haircuts today.  I did not pay with the credit card as I've always done in the past.  Everyone at the salon was talking about the mega million lottery drawing tonight.  I did something stupid on the way home, I went through the drive thru and got 4 tickets.  I realize I'm on a journey this year and need to go through the journey and not look for an easy way out.

This morning I increased the amount we give monthly to missionaries from our church.  I need to find an address for another couple to whom I would like to send a gift.  God blesses us to bless others.
