Garage Sale & Thankful Thursday

We are excited to tell about our Garage Sale success! God was so good to give us great weather! We couldn't have asked for a better day! Our current total for the two days is $2,508.15!! And we still aren't done!! We have added some pictures to give you an idea of the sale. Also, I wanted to share how we were so blessed to have friends of ours, Judy and Sarah, from Lynn, Indiana surprise us on Saturday! They came with their famous noodles that they make, and with 2 large bags of coins. Judy got this idea of "changing lives" when their daughter, Sarah and husband were needing $6,500 in a week's time to adopt their little boy from China. God blessed them with twice the amount of money they needed!! The change they brought on Saturday added up to be $200.50!! Can you believe that?
Thanks to all who helped with our sale! (32 families donated items and 19 people helped). We cannot thank you enough! We felt so much love and support! How fun it will be to tell Katarina of how so many people loved her before they even met her!
We are thankful that God continues to show us that He will provide our every need.
Trust and obey. . .

Thankful Thursday

It is quiet now. We are hours away from the chaos of our mammoth garage sale. We have had so many people come and go this week. Some dropping off items others helping to organize, two angels brought our food for the next 2 days, others have already bought items. We have already made over $100. But tonight I am thankful. My beautiful, hard working, always gracious wife is amazing. She has worked tremendously hard the past week preparing for these two days. She is...as Wendell Berry says: "trying catch something she cannot see" (from What are people for? His chapter on fishing). She knows not the girl who will enter our home to be grafted into our family or what the outcome of the garage sale as we strive to raise money to redeem our daughter. But she works as if she knows...she works as if it is in her reach...she works (labors) for a child's life. To be married to such woman is more than a blessing....may her children rise a call her blessed!!!! My praise to the Father for my wife and companion!
