Good Morning ...
I would like to share a blessing we received this weekend.
As the saying goes... We had more month left than we had money ...
We are always trying to sell things on eBay and some things on FB Marketplace too.
Market place is usually for big things that are difficult and very expensive to ship.
We had put two pair of antique slalom skis up on Marketplace months ago. No takers or even any interest. Fast forward to last Friday. We get a message that if the skis were still for sale this guy would like to buy them.
Yes !!! Turns out Don is local and had just bought a rental property up at Lake Tahoe. He was anxious to furnish it with mountain type decor. He came Saturday afternoon when he was done coaching at a wrestling tournament, Cash in Hand ! We gladly helped load them in his truck. Don was thrilled with them and thought they would be perfect for the cabin.
Yay ... they are out of our garage ! So Happy !
To answer that burning question ... NO we don't ski. These weren't ours. Dave bought them at a garage sale 25-30 years ago for $1.00 !!!! ... thats $
$.50 a pair !! Apparently this was a family estate sale and the "kids" wanted to just get rid of them. Win / Win for all of us.
So to make a long story "short" . We got a great profit and bills got paid. We can end our month on a much happier note.
On another note:
Our faith-based Zoom Call Photography Club has started up again on a more limited time frame. Our photo challenge for the meeting was to use our cell phones and take a Self Portrait. A photo of how we see ourselves and what describes who we are. NOW that was a real challenge ! I don't like to take pictures of myself. Well, I got brave and shot a few "selfies".
The one I submitted I called "What You See is What You Get".
I didn't photo shop or perfect the blemishes or wrinkles. This is me in the "raw" as a 82 year old soon to be Great Grandma. 😊 Life is good. I woke up this morning, have breath in my lungs and have loving family and friends to see me through.
What could be better??
This is Me ... What You See is What you Get ...
God says He will supply our Needs if we have the faith of a mustard seed. Sometimes I fuss and fume and certainly don't trust the way I should but I praise Him for his Care and the chance to give a testimony to His Goodness.
Always be Grateful
Always be Kind

This is a wonderful post Sue. I'm so happy the ski's sold and God's timing is perfect.
I love your photo too - you are indeed blessed.
Yeah for that sale Sue, and a nice profit too. Seems that the right person came along and the skis will have a nice home too! I liked your self portrait and you smiling face was wonderful. And, you are so right about being blessed and thankful every day.
You have a beautiful smile, and I like your hair. Hurrah for the sale, God is good!!
I have always wanted antique wooden skis to use as Christmas decor. They're hard to find. I'm glad you found a buyer at exactly the right time! Good for you! Love the sweet photo!
That's such a Great selfie! One doesn't often see genuine smiles like yours ... it brightened this sad old heart, and now I want to give you a big ole' hug.
Congrats on the unexpected sale!
Congratulations on the sale. That must have been a great feeling. I like your self portrait. You have a nice smile.
You look beautiful - that was a good photo! Congrats on the sale of the skis - you were so blessed!
So glad you sold those skis to get a little bit of cash. God always knows when we are short of this and that, and He provides it for us. Thank you for showing us your dear and sweet face. I don't often show pics of myself either, but it's so nice to see our blog friends' faces once in a while, so thank you! And I loved your words of good health and loving family. So true, my friend.
Oh, what a wonderful post! Praise God for the answered prayer for the sale of the skiis and a tidy profit to pay the bills! Hooray! I love how God's timing is always perfect, and HE knows exactly what we need and when we need it. I love How He works! And I LOVE the selfie picture of you, WYSIWYG! And I love what I see...a very blessed and beautiful sister in Christ! Full of the joy of the Lord! Nothing could be more beautiful than that! This was such a happy post. Thank you!!!!
You are beautiful in your self portrait. Beauty always extends to our outer layer when we have such beauty inside. What a wonderful Blessing Sue. God is so great and He Blesses those who bless others. You have blessed me in so many ways that there is no way to explain. I feel you love. This is a win win post and I love every bit of it.... big love to you both.
You are beautiful, inside and out! That is a lovely portrait and hooray for the sale!!
Good for you selling the skis. Love your portrait.
Love this post. The sale when you were no longer anticipating a buyer just goes to show that God is able to bring anything to anyone's attention at just the right time.
