Blessing one:
Really, my mood is a blessing right now. With starting school tomorrow, I really wasn't sure if I would be in the "mood" to join in the blessing box this week. However, I have been hanging onto my Savior and praying for my heart and mind to be in the right place as summer comes to an end. Just as always, He has answered my prayers in His time and in His perfect way.
Blessing two:
The first blessing leads me to this blessing....my classroom is finally "complete" and ready for my 22 kiddos to arrive tomorrow morning at 7:30 a.m. I feel very blessed to work with wonderful people and have a job that is such a blessing.

I feel really blessed when I get deals like this. I feel like saving money on groceries and other necessities is a blessing from God in order to stretch our budget.
Kroger has a deal right now where if you buy $20 in school supplies (brands include: Papermate, BIC, Expo, Avery, Sharpie, Crayola, Planahead, Mead, Five Star, Carolina Pad) you get a $4 Catalina. (Coupon that prints out as money toward your next purchase.) FYI: The regular price is the price counted toward the $20.
Transaction 1:
Purchased 11 Crayola Crayon 24 count at $.25 each (regular price is $1.99)
Total: $2.75 and received $4 catalina
Transaction 2:
Purchased $9.98 worth of groceries
Used $4 catalina
Total: $5.98
My total spent was $8.75. The Catalina basically made all 11 packs of crayons free and then gave me $1.25 off my groceries that I needed. It's definitely a blessing to get paid to shop!
Blessing four:
I'm blessed to have these two in my life...they make it so joyful! They came to help me in my classroom this afternoon as I was putting finishing touches on things. (And the McDonald's they brought was pretty nice too!)
