(For the record, Chloe picked her own outfit!)
We had a free sale today. Cleaning out things we no longer want or need, I put them out on the lawn with a “FREE to good home” sign. We put a piggy bank out there with a sign that said any donations made would go to our church. Then we went out to the market. My husband thought I was nuts for expecting people to make donations when the items were free. He really thought I was nuts when I said I was going to leave the donation bucket out there unattended.
Thanks to the generous people who left donations for their free items, Chloe will be taking just under $26 with her tomorrow as her Sunday School offering. Not bad for a few items that we would have just donated anyway. The remaining articles went to Bibles for Missions – a local thrift store.
All in all it was a busy, successful day which ended with baths, jammies and bed!
(Here they are in their matching jammies from Thailand that my mother-in-law brought home for them. Nice and cool - perfect for summer!)
What a blessing! :D
