92 Pieces

Today Cherish and I went to our neighborhood yard sale looking for clothes for Andrew. We hit every yard sale in the neighborhood with--shockingly--no clothing for little boys.

I told Cherish that we were going to get our car and head out of our neighborhood looking for more yard sales--since we were up and out already anyway.

As we were headed out of our neighborhood, there was a yard sale being set up that wasn't out when Cherish and I initially went by. We stopped and looked. Boy clothes!

However, the lady only had about three 18-24 month size outfits; so we bought them. As we were leaving her yard, she said, "You know those are boy clothes, right?" I then proceeded to tell her about being about five weeks away from flying to China to adopt our son.

She went to her garage and brought out a huge bag. It was full of boy clothes. She said she hadn't gotten a chance to put the clothes out yet, but she wanted us to have the bag instead. Of course, I was shocked and asked her if I could pay her for the bag. She and her husband refused.

When we returned home. we emptied the bag. It was full of complete outfits, onesies, and pajamas in fantastic shape! I was in awe. When I showed Derek, he was speechless.

We counted the clothing and there were 92 pieces! In wonderful condition!

Most of the clothing will go to bless others (since most of the clothing is sized at newborn through 12 months).

Blessings upon blessings!
It's a God-thing.
A "Good God"-thing!
