Well this week, God really blessed us! I check freecycle at least once a day to see what people are giving away, and I also check craigslist.
Well, on craigslist one lady nearby was selling 20 baby girl outfits 18-24 months for $10. We got some really great clothes, really great brands. I was very happy about that.
Then on freecycle another lady was giving away an evenflow backpack carrier (pictured above). Tyler is doing an evangelistic seminar (please pray for him as he preaches for 18 nights) in Lincoln, where this lady lives, and she lives only a couple of blocks from the church Tyler is preaching at.
She dropped it off for us, and said she was happy the backpack was going to a Christian family. Of course, I invited her to attend any night, and she said she was very interested in the Bible. So… maybe it was divine. We are praying she will come out. Oh, and the backpack was in like new condition.
Tonight, we went for a walk to get our mail and Tyler packed Isabella in her new backpack and she loved it! She was kicking her feet, and hitting daddy’s bald head. It was cute. I just want to encourage you to check out craigslist and freecyle for your area. Here at the Long House we believe in the three Rs, including Reuse. Why buy new?
Wow, what a magnificent backpack! You guys really lucked out on that one!
I tried Freecycle here…but I never can get out to go get anything…sigh.
