60 cent Lemonade!

We had a really great garage sale this weekend at some friends house who have a great location! Several families from our church donated items to be sold. It was a lot of work that was honestly overwhelming to me. I was thinking about canceling it because I just didn't see how I was going to pull it off. Thankfully, some great close friends gladly jumped in to help me price, organize and run the sale. It was a great success! We raised $1000.00 for the adoption!!! That was double what I had hoped for. I am so glad I didn't cancel and thankful for EVERYONE who donated and helped!
"May he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion." Ps. 20:2

The highlight of the weekend was Moses' lemonade stand. He made this sign and set up shop for 3 hours selling lemonade to raise money for a feeding program by Eyes That See. They feed starving orphans in Ethiopia. It only takes .60 to feed 1 child 1 meal. So, he sold his lemonade for .60 a cup and raised $33.01! That's enough to provide 55 meals! We were so proud of him for serving the lemonade so gladly and for sticking with it for so long.
