The other day I tried something new. I picked up a bag of Voila! from Birds Eye. Its one of those dinner-in-a-bag things and its in the freezer section at the grocery (or Walmart in my case!). The flavor I tried was Cheddar Chicken Potato. I ate it by itself, but you could easily have served it with pasta or rice on the side, or maybe even mashed potatoes. Sometimes those pre-bagged things are over-spiced for my taste, but this one was just right. And I thought it relatively inexpensive--as those type foods go. There are 2 other flavors--at least so far. I can't remember exactly, but there was another chicken one and then one with shrimp. I wouldn't want it all the time, but it does make a nice quick meal when I'm in a hurry---or lazy......=)
On a completely other topic, I was reminded yesterday that God does care about the very littlest things in our lives. I was at Michael's and I went there specifically to get some Martha Stewart acrylic paint and fabric medium. I got the paint, but when I looked for the fabric medium there was none to be found. I Knew I had seen some there a week or two ago (and began to Very much regret that I had not bought it then)! I had rushed to Michael's trying to get this errand done and still have time to meet some friends for supper before prayer service and there I was, stuck with no fabric medium to be seen. It was disheartening because I had made plans to use it and the paint to stencil on towels on my days off. So in the midst of my frustration I was talking to God like I always do, and decided to get right down on the floor (no not prostrate or anything! lol---the products were on the bottom shelf) hoping desperately that there was some of this stuff in the back. I took bottles out and peered into the depths of the shelves as best I could and didn't find any.......sigh.....But I kept looking, hoping, and suddenly there it was! One lone bottle on its side behind other bottles of something else! It was a little sad looking--a bit of its liquid had spilled out and run down the side at some point, but I didn't care. It was fabric medium and it was going home with me! =) It really made my day. On top of that, I still had time to go eat with my friends before church. We had a great time too. =) I am thankful that God is there to help us--even with the little things.
