It has definitely blessed a lot of us...many who have no money to buy extra things can post their needs or those who need to clear out their clutter post their stuff and God has used that deficit to be filled! It's been amazing to see it flourish...and I'd much rather give a nice something around the house to someone who needed to at church than to sell it!Becky@Organizing Made Funhttp://www.organizingmadefun.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-66911371333176595192010-08-26T21:22:55.479-04:002010-08-26T21:22:55.479-04:00What a sweet thrifty little blessing, for sure!

It's uplifting to everyone's faith to read a story like this. :)<br /><br />And you got some very, very cute things, by the way. My two oldest are exactly 25 months apart. so I had great plans for hand-me-downs, too. . . and then my second son grew. . . and grew. . . and grew. He's now 6'9" while his "big" brother is 5'9".

The girl that would hand them down to us, required "to give my son" a kiss on the cheek, of course she had her lipstick on! He endured it because he was so excited to tear into the bags.
