Two Miracle Tuesday


Most days I'm grateful to have found one miracle.  Yesterday there were two.

Remember these miracles are all what you make of them - you get to decide.  So when my phone rang on Tuesday and my 'soul sister' friend, Monica was on the line I knew that was a miracle!

We've exchanged notes, gifts, texts and emails in the past several months - but a phone call!  This was a real treat!  We've decided that 2017 is going to be our year!  We need a girls' getaway at some point .. and today when I saw a course offered in Dallas in mid-February I invited her to come celebrate Valentine's Day here!  Bring the family and we'll all share the love!  She immediately went to work on figuring out a way to make that happen!

Miracle number one.

Later in the day at the grocery store after work, Ellie and I plodded up and down the aisles trying to remember what was on the list - as it sat on the counter at home in the kitchen.  We seemed to remember most of what we needed.  When we got to the peanut butter and jelly aisle I said, "El, let me just look and see if they have it."  She responded, "Mommy, they never have it!"  Yet there it was!

For the better part of a month we have been looking for Smucker's seedless raspberry jam.  Seems easy enough, right?  Wrong!  I always have a back-up in the pantry and yet the back-up has been long gone too!

Two beautiful glass jars waiting to be claimed.

Miracle number two.
