Breakfast Money

It's been a long time since I've taken my whole family out for a meal. So, I took them family out for breakfast this morning. We went to Bagel Time Rest- aurant. They have a great egg, bagel and potatoes breakfast deal. It only cost us $28.57 (plus tip) to feed all eight of us. When we arrived a elder gentleman dining by himself noticed us and complimented us on being a nice family. Halfway into our meal as the gentleman left he approached me and offered this gift of $10 dollars. My heart was very touched by this gift because I was unsure if it was wise to dine out with money being tight right now. The gift confirmed in my heart that it was OK and that God doesn't just give us our daily bread but also gives us treats too.

Star Fruit

Star fruit still in season. Vicky gave us more.

Canned Pears, Carrots, Peanut Butter, and Milk

Evelyn brought these over

Star Fruit from God

Karl Ruf from church gave us more Star Fruit. This time he also gave me a branch from his tree so I can grow my own tree.
Were getting a lot of Star Fruit lately and are glad for if. It must be in season. Star Fruit has a very clean taste and we love having it for breakfast. It's sweet with a little tartness. My wife says is taste somewhere between an orange and a kiwi.

Although the photo doesn't show it, the fruit from Carl's tree are enormous. Each fruit is 3-4 times a bigger then the ones from Vicky's tree from around the block. Vicky also gives us a lot of Star Fruit (see below).

Onions, Cucumbes and a Pepper

These came for the Bonillas. I think someone in their church sells veggies. I don't know the details. I think they are on the end of their shelf life and were donated to the church. Members can pick through the produce they want.

They were still were crisp and fresh

Crayons, Onions and Crouton

Mary brought these over. The crayons are from cleaning out a supply closet at school. The onions was a buy one get one free deal, she gave us the free one. The croutons are left over from a party. She is diabetic and cannot eat much bread so gave it to us.

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose

OJ From God

Shotzie dropped off some more fresh squeezed orange juice! Yum!

Melon

Today I was at J&J Farms. I forgot to put this melon on the counter till after I wrote the check. I told the guy I would write another check and he told me don't worry about it, it's a gift! Thanks Kellen!

More Star Fruit

Vicki our neighbor on the other side of the block saw Trust in the front yard today and told him to come over for star fruit. Freeman said when they counted what was there they counted to 50! The funny part is I was at Wal-Mart getting some food and at the end I realized I hadn't gotten much fruit but I had spent my budget. I figured we just have to do with what I had gotten. I guess God already knew :)

Clothing

Teresa Jacobson stopped by today with a
pretty dress just promises size! She also brought a pair a Nike sneakers for Mercy.

Cake

Tonight we had a reception at church for a missionary couple who are retiring. We got to take home some left over cake. Tasted great at breakfast!

Karl Ruf at church brought us some gynormous star fruit!

Cooking Chocolate

Fannie called me today, she had some chocolate she wasn't using and wanted to know if we wanted it. Thank you Fannie!

Cookie Mix

Kim Kulacz came by today. She went to MOPS at our church today and they made these cookie mix jars. Thank you Kim, for sharing yours with us :)

Mint Cookeis

Mary had some cookies she couldn't eat. They were a gift to her, but she is diabetic...
She also called me the other day to let me know National Geographic Little kids was on its way to our house. Thank you Mary.

Proactive

We have been praying about Trust's skin problem. We received two offers for a derma- tologist office visit from both my brother in law Michael and from Conrad and Cheryl Beton. We took Conrad and Cheryl up on their offer. However, Mike also purchased for us the proactive system. We decided to go with the proactive for now, but are so thankful for both.

Orange Juice

Shotzie, our neighbor who does an amazing job taking care of our grass, brought over a huge container of fresh squeezed orange juice. Later he came over with a half gallon more!
