During this freezing snowy period, it is always nice to have some surprises to brighten the day. Today I took some jigsaw puzzles to the Give and Take table in my retirement complex. My husband had added an additional shelf to our storage closet and in the process of moving things around, we decided to sort through the puzzles and put some on the giveaway table. I went to the library to work for about 1 1/2 hours; since the table is near where choir practices, I took a peek to see if some had been taken when I came back to that part of the complex. Yes, 4 of the 8 puzzles were already gone. But now there were some items that interested me. A small jar of dark fudge topping and a jar of boysenberry preserves. I had never heard of this hot fudge sauce Best Boy and Co. It is located in Roanoke, Indiana and gives some of its profits to charities. Unopened and not expired, now both jars sit in my kitchen cupboard.

This morning as I started a load of laundry, my husband who had gone to Grace College to return a library book came home and told me we should go back for the library book sale that was taking place. He said there were Christian fiction books which might interest me. I had just been thinking last night that now that I had the Zamperini book money, I had no practical place to spend it as my favorite book sale by the North Webster Friends of the Library was only going to take place 2 times this year, not 4, and the next one isn’t until May 21st. I didn’t expect much to be useful to me at the college library. I was wrong. I ended up buying 25 books, about half of which fill in gaps in series in the retirement library. I could have bought 10-12 more, but decided either I didn’t know the author or I didn’t have shelf space. God provided books in an unexpected way. I told the library clerk this was like Christmas in January to get desired books at bargain prices. I told my neighbor who is in charge of her church library, and she bought 26 books.

Then tonight as I searched the free Kindle books website, I not only added books to the Grace Village Kindles, but I decided to add 3 to my ipad as well. I am anxious to start reading them.

God filled up my bowl with yumminess today. How is He brightening your winter days?
