Frugal Fridays Time
|
Time to save money...don't ya just love it? This isn't really my idea, but something our church did. We had a Winter Clothing Drive just last Sunday. For a few months prior, donations of gently used winter clothing and bedding were gathered by a very nice family who had some extra space in their basement. Then last Sunday, it was all laid out neatly and anyone who wanted could just take whatever they needed. Kind of like a no-cost garage sale. It was such a blessing! I got some very nice Old Navy jeans and a few shirts for my boys. I also got an adorable baby quilt that looked like some sweet little granny made (that I will save until I can be a sweet little granny!). There was more than enough goodies to go around and everyone was blessed beyond measure. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is going to happen again in the spring! There is even a rumor that our church is going to start a no-cost thrift store as a result of this ministry. Try it at your church!

Say, Beckie, I love your idea about the little "free" thrift store! I can think of a lot of ways to implement that!
Thanks for clicking over and checking out the syrup! I hope you were able to make some. If so, let me know how it went over.
I am glad you found my blog encouraging, because now I see it as a part of my ministry to you younger ones who are still in the trenches so to speak. Just keep doing the Lord's will day by day in your home with your boys. God will take care of them.
By all means, I'd be honored to be on your friend list. God bless you, I hope you and your family have a happy Sunday tomorrow.
Blessings,
Robin

I'm glad you think Fuzz is cute. They really are like a part of the family when you get them so small, aren't they? Did you have to feed your kitty from a bottle? Fuzz didn't even know how to lick from a dish when I got him!
Blessings,
Robin
