Have you ever had that anxious feeling in the pit of your stomach? The one where you can’t eat and sleep? That’s pretty much what it has been like for the past two weeks. Well, until I got my big surprise the last day of our yard sale.
Jonel offered to help go through the girls’ room next. I’m so glad she did. Kate is excellent at sorting through her stuff and not holding on to stuff. I, however am much more clingy to stuff. In fact, I had to rescue a few of her sale items. She didn’t have many memories of them. But I did. Then I had my dad help the twins go through their room. I avoided so much emotional trauma by passing this off. And I’m glad. Because there was much yet to come. Tuesday before our big sale weekend we started hauling all our stuff out in the yard. We weren’t worried about rain, just heat. I sent out an invitation to our church family, offering any who wanted to come by early. This cut back on a lot of pricing. And I knew they would be fair about their offers.
Our church family was a huge help in making food, sorting, pricing, setting up and then buying our stuff. |
This was everything but the big furniture. |
So are you depressed yet? I am, and that was not my intentions with this blog. I wanted to show how good God is. How when he asks us to do a yard sale too far for anyone to want to drive, He will bring the people. And He did.
beautiful post. no other words needed.
