Just this morning I picked up my Bible to read and opened to Psalm 68:5, 6. It reads:
"A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His Holy habitation. God sets the solitary in families."
What great confirmation! This weekend we are having a garage sale. I have been saving stuff for a while. Unfortunately we got rid of a lot of stuff in the last two years because I hate clutter! But last summer we didn't have the garage sale we planned, and the stuff got transported to this house. We dug it all out and the kids and I cleaned out that disaster called a garage. When we moved in here it was mid December and we put everything into the garage and then moved it in - box by box. That garage was the last place I had yet to organize. I was dreading it!!! Oh, I will be glad when the garage sale is over!! I don't even like doing them!! But the last garage sale we had was when we had the vision to move here. We sold good stuff and lots of other things.
We made over $1000!!!!
This garage sale is to help bring our little girl(s) home from Etiopia.
I am considering baking before it, but don't think I have time or desire. I just have so much to do and I *know* that if I put this garage sale off for another two weeks, it might not happen.
It is one of those things you *know* you have to do, but don't want to! *smile*
Next weekend, we have the educational seminar and so can't do it that weekend, plus the weekend after that we are driving to the town our big boys are staying at for the summer. We are going to take them out for the day and give them a real meal!! *laugh* So this is really the only weekend we have to do the sale! And of course, I missed the newspaper advertising cutoff dates - so if it is going to be a success, it will be because we all prayed! *laugh*
A friend was kind enough to bring over a few boxes of things to add to our garage sale.
So, today I make posters and then on Friday I will be posting them around the neighbourhood. We are praying for a good turnout. We are praying for the impossible - that everything sells and sells high!
"... with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
