Food for thought!

 I've said before, there are certain foods I will run out, at almost any time, and buy.  This week I was told on Monday and Tuesday am, "there's no cereal!"  There actually was cereal.  2 boxes, but no one wanted those.  I guess Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Raisin Bran are poisonous, according to Ashley and Steve.  So I said, how bout bagels, toast, eggs, waffles.  You see my point?  We had LOTS of food.  But we, at the Koemans, are creatures of habit.  I tend to think someday, my children are going to be on their own and wonder, "why did my mom ALWAYS buy the same food?"  It's because we are boring.  So Wednesday I head to Walmart.  Not because I like Walmart, but because they have the cheapest cereal.  And I bought 15 boxes of cereal.  They had some roll back prices.  WHOOO HOOO!!!  My mom was like, "this is going to last you a long time."  I WISH!!!  These cereal eating monsters will have it gone in no time. 

With that being said, I added up, we spend $25 a month on smoked sausage, aka "smoky links."   Guess who eats them?  Yup Brooke.  So I bought a different brand, in a case.  AND........she stopped eating them.  Really..........1st the cereal monsters and now the sausage.  She assures me, she just decided she wanted toast this week.  We'll see.  In the big picture, smoky links are MUCH cheaper than tube feedings.  Those were $3000 a month. 

Stevie is DONE!!  Thursday we watched the combine drive into the driveway.  We were excited for him (and us).  So I felt slightly bad when I said, "I have plans.You can come with me if you want."  He declined.  He texted me this picture later at night.  I showed it to my friends who thought the twins were faking.   Oh No!  This man, still rocks his 5 year old daughters to sleep and they all LOVE it!  Daddy's home girls!!!!  :)

So, our cupboards are full and daddy's home, so our hearts are full.  I pray for the remainder of farmers that are not done yet.  The wind and rain are not a welcome sight.  God is always in control. 

 

 

Psalm 67:5-7

New International Version (NIV)

⁵ May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

⁶ The land yields its harvest;
    God, our God, blesses us.
⁷ May God bless us still,
    so that all the ends of the earth will fear him.
