My sweet, sweet sister-in-love, Christi, has written it best in her recent blog post, Be a Hero. You have the opportunity to be a hero in one child's life in a big, big way THIS Saturday! God asks each of us over and over to be a father to the fatherless, defender of widows in psalm 68:5. He goes on to say that He will place the lonely in families in the following verse. Whether you're able or feel called right now to adopt or not, there are ways you can be a father to the fatherless and help our Lord place orphans in families...particularly our family. :)
Please consider coming out to our yard sale this Saturday and purchasing some things for yourself or someone else! Some of the highlighted items we have available is a short board surf board, several night stands and end table, foosball table, tons of baby items including exersaucers, baby gates and packnplays, complete queen bed set with matching window treatments, towel and rug set for the bathroom, modern teal ceramic decorative vase (I almost wanted to steal this one, ask my husband!), wall art, handmade blank greeting cards donated by my friend, Karen Peterson, kitchen supplies, dark brown canvas accent chair that folds out to a bed, dressers, clothes for the older generation along with clothes from my closet and SO much more! Come check it out!
Thank you so much to all that have donated items for this yard sale. You have no idea how much it means to us. You may think it's a simple thing to do to clean out your closets and donate your unwanted things but your actions have beautiful and eternal consequences. The community support, both near and far, has shown us even more the awesome community that we have. We are SO excited to surround our future child with that kind of love and support.
If you can't make it out to the yard sale but would still like to support us in our adoption journey, please consider donating what you think you'd spend at our yard sale via our paypal account.
We love you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
