Today I spent the entire day at the church working the Children's Consignement sale. Twice a year our church host a consignment sale for the community. It has become a huge deal. Over 250 consigners with a waiting list of over 60. 24,000 items for sale. The Children's Ministry Team keeps 25% of total sales with the consigners getting the remaining amount. At the end of the sale consigners can donate unwanted clothing to a charity chosen by the church. Everybody wins in this endeavor. Tonight we were open for 3 hours and sold over $23,000 worth of merchandise!
It was a zoo. Lots of people. But I have to admit that it was fun. It was good to see people of the church that I hadn't seen in a while and to see so many people get enjoyment from saving money.
It was also a great way for Cay, Ashlea and I to participate in something together. Everything is always better when you do it as a family.
Find a time this week to spend some time with your families. If you can't be there in person then call and talk for a while or write a heart felt letter. I know they will appreciate it and you will probably feel better too.
