Oh, I love a great deal!!! And, today God allowed me to capitalize on generosity and great bargains! Wes' Uncle Steve and Aunt Janelle recently sent Wes a birthday card and in it they enclosed a check to be used to purchase shoes for kids in Ethiopia- we were thrilled by their generosity! So, today I did a little shoe shopping and, this is what I found...
20 pairs of shoes for $51!!!!! WOW : ) Special thanks to Steve and Janelle for sponsoring these shoes- we're sure the kids will get great use out of them. Because of you, 20 more kids will be protected from parasites, disease and raw feet- thank you, thank you, thank you!
This brings our shoe tally to 98 pairs- totally beyond what I ever thought would be possible!! Now, the question is... who will donate pair No. 100???
And, since I was having so much fun... I wondered over to the baby section (well, because they've got cute stuff and I can't wait to actually buy stuff for Baby Roth)!! And, there I discovered these super discounted incredibly cute, very nice quality fleece sleepers for only $1.75 a piece! Aww, God's good at this bargain shopping thing : ) Fun, fun, fun...
We know we're getting closer but we have no idea what day will be our 'family day'. Last week a family received a referral for a 6 week old baby boy and another family recieved a referral for a 4 month old little boy. Yay for 2 more children who will have a safe, nourishing, loving home! These families submitted their paperwork in July and ours went over in August. However, we know there are at least a handful of families ahead of us whose paperwork has been there longer than ours. So, please...keep praying for Baby Roth, for the process, the birth family and us too.
God Bless everyone!
