We are so thankful

Last Saturday we had a HUGE garage sale. Many of our friends and family donated items for us to sell. We are using all of the proceeds to help with Ashley's medical expenses. At 6 AM on a cold Saturday morning (well, cold for Florida), my brother-in-law, two friends and three of my kids were covering our yard and driveway with all sorts of goodies.

We had 11 friends and family stop by during the day to help us with the selling and then the clean up. Our older daughter, found her niche. Sales. She wore an apron and followed people around, making deals. It was hysterical to see a nine-year-old love to be a part of a garage sale. We discovered that you either love to do yard sales or you hate it.

Another friend, showed up at 6:30 AM with hot chocolate and donuts. She set up an adorable table for our kids to sell the goodies. All day long, the kids took turns manning the concessions.

We had so much to be thankful for as the day progressed. We could have never set up or sold all that we did without all the help.

The best news is......we raised almost $1,200! Can you believe it? We sold two bigger priced items ($150 and $85) and other than those items, it was lots of smaller prices. God is so faithful!

We had so much left over that next weekend we are setting up again in another relatives yard to see if we can sell the rest. Pray that we have another Saturday of great weather.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I hope that you and your family enjoy of day of giving thanks to our Lord for all that He has done.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Psalm 107:1

With Thankful Hearts,
