Yard Sale Extravaganza!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21 

Our yard sale to help raise funds for the adoption was a great success!! We want to give all the glory and thanks to God! He blessed us with so much! He blessed us with.... 

• The energy and stamina for the two days, plus through all the months of preparation
• A gorgeous weekend 
• Family and friends who gave their time and energy to help prepare for and then work even harder during the two sale days
• Our church family who let us borrow tables
• People who prayed for us
• The gracious people who donated T.O.N.S. of stuff
• And the great turnout of customers to purchase stuff

Yard sales are hard work - especially one of this size. But I love yard sales - I love getting rid of stuff, but most of all I love meeting people and learning their stories! We definitely had some characters! We met many kind people - some who came back with donations to put in the sale and others who simply gave more than their total!

 
The other awesome aspect of the yard sale is we got to share about our adoption journey, how God has been faithful, and even invite some to our church! I was also reminded about how so many people are touched by adoption - people shared their stories of adoption whether they were adoptive parents or knew someone close to them who has adopted.

 

 And finally....drum roll please.......

God blessed us with $1506.72 through the yard sale fundraiser!!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
