I bought a couch from Walmart and I usually wouldn't do that because it's so hard to shop for furniture online. You never know what you're going to get, as Forrest once said. 😂 and you sure don't want to have to box it all up and send something like that back, when it's heavy and all. It's just a pain, all the way around. But I thought I'd share with you this morning, my new couch and yes... I am bragging, but not on myself. The Lord provided this and I say that, because this is my very first, brand new couch. Couldn't afford one before, and my old one was so dilapidated 🤭, I had to put a cover over it, so all the plastic thousands of pieces wouldn't get all over the hallway when they hawled it away, hahaha, and it sat okay, but I sure had to keep a cover over it and it was to the point where you sunk down too far when you sat in it, so it was time! Hahaha
Well anyway, so the Lord blessed me with a way to get this couch and it was expensive, and I think that old saying is very true! You DO get what you paid for, and I wasn't about to just get something cheap to get by with, and then it break down a year or two later.
I was very thankful, I could put this on my credit card and only have to pay $42 a month. That was a real blessing. I could not be happier that I finally got a piece of furniture that is absolutely perfect and the best quality and strongest parts I've ever seen. And it has heat and massage features, which is wonderful. I mean you sit down in this thing and you just melt into it hahaha. It has seven separate settings on the remote for the massage, and then I love that it heats, as well.
So anyway, I thought I'd share what my new loveseat looks like. And the flowers behind it, my daughter gave me, and the vase is so wonderfully tall. I've never seen anything like it, and when she came dragging that thing through my door, I tell you I just could not get over it! I just love looking at that thing. Especially since my daughter gave it to me and she got it from a thrift store down the street and I felt like God wanted me to have that, I just did, because I really had some rough times the last few months. It's such a joy to look at every day, and I'm so thankful for her, that she thought of me, and got that for me.
Anyway, what's so wonderful about that flower ornament, is that she's not a rich person either, by any means, and yeah it is a struggle every month as far as finances, but I'm praising God that he always sees me through, even if I do have $10 for the rest of the month to live on. 😂 As long as I have Jesus, I feel like the richest person in the world, and I'm so thankful for Him. I'm just as happy as a lark. I don't care what else is going on, trying to interfere in my life, God always sees me through, I have to say that.
But anyway, so she goes in the thrift store and just as soon as she got there this one lady was coming out the double doors in the back, dragging this very heavy, VERY heavy flower vase and my daughter said wow! How much is THAT, I'm afraid to ask? 😂 And the lady said well if you would pick this up any place else, it would cost you a good $75 (and I can see why myself). But she told my daughter it was just $15, and she about flipped. So did I, when I saw it!! I went crazy when I saw her dragging it through the door. 😁 I couldn't help but start laughing, and just jumping around in my chair hahaha and praising the Lord! lol Yep, I really truly do feel like the Lord gave that to me especially, because just as my daughter was getting there, first thing, that lady met her coming out the back doors with that. Just in time for her to see it and grab it up for me because I'm sure that thing would have gone in a heartbeat if anybody else had seen it.
I just can't take my eyes off it. It's such a joy to see the things that the Lord has given me for my apartment, each morning. So here's my couch. I think I deserved it after all these years. 😂 and y'all are invited over to watch a movie with me, if you want, but only come two at a time. That's all that loveseat will hold. 🤭😂
That looks so comfortable too. Glad you found something nice like that. You will probably feel a bit spoiled with it. We got that type of furniture in 2018 and I know I am spoiled by it now.
@cherokeepatti Yes I sure do. And now I have something nice for someone to sit on when they come. But what I don't understand is, I can't use it and that's okay because I got it for other people, but I can't use it. It's so so comfortable and I love it but when I put the heat on and the massage, maybe I sat in it too long which was like half an hour maybe an hour I don't know but when I got up. I hurt so bad I could just barely walk. I mean I was in terrible pain and could barely use my walker, so I don't know. But since it's so comfortable I think maybe once in a while I'll just sit up in it without reclining all the way back and it will be comfortable to sit in to watch TV once in awhile but I've got my own other easy chair that is halfway broken and I can't afford another one for sure, so I'll just have to get by with that for another year or two before I can get another easy chair.
@cherokeepatti I'm glad to hear you were able to get a nice one as well. I bet it's holding up real well. It means a lot. Especially when we're hurting.
