Yesterday as we were driving home from church, we saw a kitchen table with the trash pile at a recently sold house. We stopped to look at it and realized it was not only in great condition but that it went with the chairs we already have. A kitchen table has been on our list of needed things (ours seats 4 but had no room to put anything on it other than place settings) but it had plummeted to the bottom of the list as we made do. This table is at least half again as big, seats 6, and is sturdier than our previous one. We have been blessed twice with kitchen tables (our previous one was also free) and we are rejoicing in God's gift! It's amazing to see how even the seemingly insignificant things in our life don't escape God's notice and provision. A good reminder and one that will be constantly before us as we share meals around our new-to-us table.

Trash to Treasure

Michael told me all about it!!! I'm so happy for you!!!! Isn't it fun?!!
Okay, so it probably wouldn't exactly go with your pink theme, but I really think, with all your green-focused topics and efforts (including this new rescuing-table-from-landfill-and-reusing-it green action) you really should have a green header or sidebar or something!
That's great! What a great find.
Wow, that's wonderful!
it looks great. Can't believe someone threw that out.
Wow, what a find!
Wow, that is in perfect condition. I can't believe someone was just throwing it out but hey, yeah for you!! It is just like ours but ours has black legs.
That is awesome!
