At VBS this year, the collected offering went to the Blood Water Mission ministry. This organization helps to provide clean water to impoverished villages and towns in Africa. Each night of VBS, the boys and girls saw a story of a named child and what he/she had to do to get water - and oftentimes that water was filled with bacteria, mud, and other harmful additions. With our neighborhood yard sale coming up, I thought it would be the perfect time to set up a lemonade stand (summer bucket list item) AND give the money collected to a good cause. Blood Water Mission came to our mind and so it was...
Cole made signs while I stirred the lemonade. We had the perfect spot at the end of our driveway with yard sales on either side and across the street. With hot temps, those precious signs, and that handsome face, shoppers couldn't help but stop and purchase a refreshing drink. Many people gave above the 25 cent price tag and it was the perfect lesson in generous giving lived out in front of my children.
Sweet friends from our small group came out to support. Thankful for this crew!
That Sunday, Cole took his earnings to church and gave them to our Children's Pastor, Mr. Andy. $64.50!! Praise the Lord!
