the Garage Sale


Really a whole house sale. What isn't bolted down has been listed on Craig's List is going. Shane told me yesterday that it feels like a cleanse. It is refreshing in someway to purge our earthly treasures.
I am keeping my eye on the prize, the children and specifically the young entrepreneurs. Those who want to work. This little boy is carrying his water and box for shoe shinning. He was one of my favorites. For about 40 cents he will clean your shoes like no one has ever cleaned them before. I just like him! Maybe he could be a future business partner?

  1. I love that Shane is totally on board with this! Yes, I think this little one would be an awesome business partner for you. You are walking the walk to the fullest!

  2. It's amazing how much we don't need and it is overwhelming how much is in America. It's also amazing how God gives us the desires of our hearts and knows our needs too. We have purged several times and the things that I allow myself to feel sentimental about are fewer and fewer. Sometimes I wish I would have held on to some more things I got for my wedding, but the things I end up storing I forget about them all together. It is sad when you loose the things you do value, but it's a reminder that they don't really matter in the end anyway.
