I had to tell you about my day.
I was privileged to attend a baby shower for a new mom and baby today. It was a great shower and was so wonderful to sit and chat with other lovely ladies while holding several different newborns, including the showered baby (I even got to hold him while praying for him, which was really a neat thing in a supernatural, holy kind of way.) I chatted a bit with the hostess, a good friend of mine, about starting up some kind of online book talk to create community for moms that can't get away from home to go to regular studies, etc. Anyway, we got excited as we considered the blogtalkradio option. In fact, I will be starting a radio show of my own in a few days. (Lord willing.) I will keep you posted on that.
All in all, after the baby shower, I was walking with a spring in my step already...then, THAT was when I saw the GARAGE SALE.
For those of you that don't know me well, I am a garage/yard sale fanatic. Love em. Can't get enough of them. The sighting of one strikes FEAR in the heart of my husband. But, in the end, he's usually pretty happy about the good "finds."
Anyway, I walked right up and asked if the family was moving, and no, they were just moving in. "What brings to you town?" I asked. WELL. I met a super neat family with an awesome mission. This man's heart's desire is to plant small groups emphasizing the LOVE of God and focusing on the relationship aspect of a Christian's walk with Christ. (He's a pastor). Anyway, had a super awesome chat and met his wife, kids and then bought a bunch of stuff from his sale.
Some of the amazing finds were: 2 boxes of BRAND new curriculum (they homeschooled for a week and decided it wasn't for them.) A tall bookcase (trying to create space in our home by moving upwards instead of outwards), a Nintendo DS for my DH, (yes, that's right, my DEAR HUBBY loves to play the boy's Gameboys Advance, so when this fairly new one was brought out at the right price, I thought he'd like it, and SURE enough, he's been playing it for the better half of the hour...), A leapfrog globe (our globe JUST broke) and a well used, but excellent Bible for ds #2. Also some other books to add to our library (some real gems). Whew, there were a few more things that I found and really really felt blessed by having. (Isn't it wonderful how God knows even what small things you've been wanting and provides them this way?)
So, overall, it was such a wonderful, happy kind of day. My children were thrilled with some of the goodies I brought home too (along with some much needed summer things for the older boys!)
God loves us so much. What a generous Father he is! I pray God's blessings on you too!
