Little Birdie

My church hosted a community yard sale on Saturday. God was so faithful. He caused everything to come together and work smoothly, he breathed on our efforts, and it was awesome. So many people contributed, and I just want to publicly thank all of you. Especially my friend Susan, who worked super hard and provided her invaluable wisdom.

I pulled together some statistics that I shared with the congregation on Sunday. I share this not to boast of our own efforts but of God’s provision over this event:

• 500 flyers
• 13 sellers
• 40 dozen cookies, brownies, muffins, fruit, donuts, and pastries
• 11 gallons of coffee
• 5 hours of face painting
• 100 balloons given away
• 1 giant bouncy slide
• 25+ people surveyed

And most importantly, 2 people received Christ.

It just goes to show you that God can use any situation, any number of willing people, and any venue to accomplish his purposes.

I can’t wait until next year
