books, books, books

Our county (public) library had a book sale last weekend. 450,000 books for sale. Some were withdrawn library books others were donated from private citizens others yet were donated by used book stores. We came out with a total of 8 boxes (I think!). We are just now cataloging them on Library Thing. So far we have found many first editions and even 2 signed first editions, and 2 birthday card tucked inside. It may take us till the rapture to catalog them all and some we will give away to friends and loved ones but no matter what we will enjoy them!

A New Day

It's only 8:30 and I feel like I've had a full day already. In a good way, that is! Sparrow slept through the night for the first time in days. Husband and I are very thankful for that. She woke up bright and early, ate a good breakfast and went back to sleep. I used that time to climb into my Saviour's arms via His Word, then read a few chapters in my Davis Bunn, Janette Oke book "the Hidden Flame" book #2 in the Acts of faith series. I haven't read the first one but I bet it's good! I don't know if it's reading this book or something else but the Lord has, for the last two days been really reminding me of that time when I first got saved. The contrast of how the world as I knew it was Gone and the beauty of a new one opening up. The physical world seemed to change, I can't explain it, a better writer than me could give that a try. I can't wait to see what the rest of the day holds! My plan is to clean a little through out the day, applique my family's handprints and listen to a focus on the family podcast  in between taking care of my little bijou girl.
