As a stay at home mom I live by the motto "A penny saved is a penny earned"! My sister and I have agreed that yard sales, thrift stores and clearance finds make the BEST gifts to each other and our families! It isn't about the money spent, it is about the love shared!<BR/>Hope you are feeling better soon!<BR/>Have a great day!<BR/>HeatherMore than Survivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391332999979380361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-89463780830154392572009-01-15T21:37:00.000-08:002009-01-15T21:37:00.000-08:00All of us look for a bargain even when we're shopp...All of us look for a bargain even when we're shopping for gifts.

She may even ask you to go shopping with her soon to find out where to find the best prices! :) Glad you can smile about it now and know it's not about the gift it's about the giver and she has a dear friend in you! You are the blessing clearance sticker and all! Thanks for your honesty! You are a dear soul!The Patterson 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/11365182817547393631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-60339892285950175482009-01-13T22:07:00.000-08:002009-01-13T22:07:00.000-08:00I totally get the life lesson God taught you, but ...I totally get the life lesson God taught you, but in an economy like this, I'd be upset if someone DIDN'T get my gift on clearance!

And I really did make a goofball of myself. We truly do have a choice. We can make it all about us and sit and let the day the Lord has made be ruined...or we can let another layer be peeled off. <BR/><BR/>Sigh. I just wish I didn't have quite so many layers that need peelin'! ;)<BR/><BR/>Love ya'!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534550649815409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-75420487254332659192009-01-13T10:49:00.000-08:002009-01-13T10:49:00.000-08:00Bless your precious heart!

We both laughed about it, but I was so embarassed.<BR/><BR/>I know someone who RARELY removes the price tags from the gifts she gives...forgetfulness?...or does she want us to know how much she spends? Don't know.<BR/><BR/>A couple of years ago the Lord took me on a journey where He was working on pride in me. I'd even be ordering coffee at a take-out coffee counter and my paper cup, in BIG BOLD letters would read, "PRIDE".
