In the Beginning...

One recent evening, after crawling into bed and readying for sleep my mind started to wonder as it often does before rest.  It was such a peaceful evening.  My marriage - going great, my son - healthy and happy, myself - content... or was I?  I had recently organized my son's clothes that he had outgrown into bins and set them near our attic where they needed to be stored.  I thought about how I needed to label all the bins of clothes.  I thought about the stack that I had left in our guest room that did not fit into the containers I had, and then my mind wondered to the adorable, tiny Easter outfit that I had bought Jake his first Easter that in fact did not fit him that Easter.


THAT IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED.



I remembered trying the precious boutique outfit on him nearly a month before his first Easter and being devastated that it didn't fit.  It was, by far, the cutest on the market as far as I was concerned.  So, I hung it in his closet and started on the hunt for another outfit that would match if not exceed this one in cuteness!


A MUST, RIGHT?!?!


Months later I organized clothes with hangers and labels for a consignment sale and in the bundle of items was the adorable, unworn Easter outfit.  I announced that I would not take a penny less than I paid for it.  After all, anyone who happend upon this was one lucky winner.


IT DID NOT SELL.


And is now hanging in Jake's closet again.


I don't know why my mind wondered to this "random" place that one evening, but I found myself sincerely disappointed with me. I will be giving this outfit away for free, much less than I paid for it, and I will gain much more than money. In God's eyes we are all precious and all deserving. He loves and blesses all of His children and so will I.


I hope you will help...
