Good Karma

Since Shawn and I have moved into our house we have been planning to turn our master bathroom into a masterpiece. However.... masterpieces cost money and that is something we havent had a lot of... so our bathroom has had the door shut and has been unused for months awaiting some money and time. We recently have started looking at things for the bathroom and absolutely fell in love with some black granite tile at Lowes. The only problem- it was $7.99 a square foot. The other problem- we needed over 130 square feet for just the walls- never mind what we needed for the floor of the shower! We sadly decided that we would wait on the shower, and look other places.... since the tile alone would be well over $1000.


Shawn looked in Williston at the tile "outlet." The same tile was $12 a square foot! The owner didnt even care that they had the same thing cheaper at Lowes. We checked at Home Depot and it was over $7 a tile....so once again our shower was on the back burner.

Shawn had graciously offered to remodel Brian Minnich's mother's bathroom for her, because she has been trying to sell her house and houses minus a bathroom usually do not sell well. He has been working on it in his spare time so that she can put the house on the market. Well yesterday he went to Home Depot.on Newberry Road.... and found our tile for $4.49 a square foot- well within our bathroom budget! I truly believe that this was a blessing from God in thanks for Shawn helping someone. If he hadnt been helping Brian's mom then he never would have gone to that Home Depot and seen the tile.

Today, as with many days, I truly feel as if God has blessed me and my family. It is nice to know that good deeds have their way of finding their way back to you.
