The total: drum roll...$3, 679.00!
Our goal was $4000. We are still going to reach it! After our great success and the fact that we STILL don't have a referral, another sale is in order! I am thinking we will not only reach our goal, we will blow it through the roof!
We are dividing the proceeds four ways, 1/4 for each persons traveling costs and 1/4 to donate to the orphanage our little girl now calls home. Wouldn't it be something if we had several thousand dollars to donate for nutritious food and much needed medicine? Suddenly my backache and worn out body doesn't seem like that big of a deal.
We will be doing our next fund-raiser sale in two weeks. THANK YOU to everyone who donated odds and ends to this sale! Your willingness to sort through closets and cupboards means more than you know to my family, to our daughter-to-be and to some of the children closest to God's heart: orphans in need.
Jubilee, we are coming for you soon!
Hurray! What a wonderful result - praise God! I am excited to see how He provided for you and for those sweet kids. How exciting!
ReplyDeleteso very exciting!!!
ReplyDeletewe are headed into a week preparing for our yard sale...and i'm already tired at the beginning...this helps give me some encouragement!
praying for you all!
congradulation!! It is so encouraging!! We are also doing a garage sale, either last weekend in May or the first one in June!!
ReplyDeleteJubilee....where are you? When will you come to us? Yesterday Gideon and Maddox were having so much fun in their backyard...running in the sun, swinging, calling out to the rabbits to come from across the fence, rolling in the grass, and stomping in the leaves that their Mommy had just raked up! Spring is here and we want you to be too! I could totally imagine you there with us in the backyard. Maybe sitting on a sweet blankie watching the antics of your brothers and giggling. Or maybe standing on the deck hanging on to the railing, wishing you were old enough to run and play with the silly boys. Come soon, Jubilee. Spring is here and we are ready!
ReplyDeleteZya is willing to give her old bicycle (she just got a new one.) The chain could use some oil, but it is in good condition overall.
