For some reason, I haven’t been able to buy anything for Little Man. Several times I have picked out pj’s and outfits, but it never felt right. I would put them back. Part of the problem is that I don’t know what size to buy. I finally decided to go with 10/12′s. Gavin wears an 8, and Connor wears a 14 slim. A has to be somewhere in the middle. I know he isn’t as big as Connor, and I think he is just a little bigger than Gavin.
Anyway, I walked into KMart on Tuesday night, and right beside the door was a huge sale rack of winter coats for 40% off. The coats are not name brand, but the quality is as good as the ones I bought my other boys at JC Penney. It is nice and thick and warm with a zip out liner that doubles as a spring/fall jacket. The real selling point, though, was the orange patches on the shoulders.:) It matches with the orange and red hat I knitted for him.
It is the little details like this that help me to see God’s hand in everything. Maybe it was just chance that the really nice, washable wool yarn at the dollar store only came in orange and red. Maybe it was just chance that the 40% off coats only came in gray/orange and black/red, but I see it as just one more little blessing. My Father really loves me, and cares about the littlest details in my life.
