It's been awhile since last update, so I thought I'd share forward our current happenings.
We've just completed the last of 3 garage sale fundraisers. I can say that 3 is the final number for me. LOL . I am so thankful for the help given by my family to make these sales possible, for without them, I would've went crazy.
The first garage sale we raised about $780.
The second garage sale (hosted by my inlaws, a three stall garage packed full, and a 50 degree rain filled stormy weekend), we managed to raise about $1000.
The third garage sale we raised about $600.
It was at our third garage sale where this hundred dollar picture came to be part of this story.
It was my prayer and hope that we could raise $500. That was the goal set.
I remember my niece's beautiful husband, Tom, praying over our sale that morning and that we would have a great turnout of people and sales. I was hopeful. The weather was actually nice this day, so that was a plus.
About a couple hours into our morning, it started to really slow down. After what we thought would be the end of our sales, I considered shutting down early. I had counted the money at that time, and we were about at $300. After a little while longer, we had another rush of people and made what I thought was the final sales of the day. We had reached $400.
I was ready to be done. Here comes two little girls, the older sister pulling the younger in a wagon. They come up to me with big smiles and said, "Our mommy wants us to give this to you." Inside the envelope was........YES, that $100 BILL! We made our goal of $500!!
Some may say, coincidence, but I say, THANK YOU JESUS. He knows our every need, and He reminds us in such times, that He is on our side and He loves us.
Then, about half hour later, as we started to pack up, here comes another group of shoppers, and we made another $100. How awesome is that!
My $500 goal overflowed.
