At 7:30 yesterday morning I left my parents home with mom & dad. We set out to conquer Bargains Galore on Hwy. 64 - a 160 mile long yard sale, spanning from Alma, Arkansas to Beebe, Arkansas. With a great many stops and 104 degree heat, we only made it about 40 miles in 7 hours, but we had lots of fun and came home with a few less dollars, and a few treasures.
One of my treasures was a fully complete audio version of the New Testament (KJV). The most interesting thing about this audio Bible was that it was on 45 LP Records!! For you young'uns out there, that's vinyl record! I purchased this little bit of history from a nice man in Knoxville, Arkansas, who I found attends the London Assembly of God church - one of my supporting churches. What a joy it is to run into precious people like this.
We also visited the Pottsville First Assembly of God church who, thankfully, held their yard sale in the air-conditioned gym. It was wonderful to meet a couple of the ladies there who were helping to raise money for their church to go on a mission trip to an American Indian reservation in South Dakota. Somehow we did exit the building without buying Krispy Kremes, but I'm sure that was a draw to the many shoppers travelling on Highway 64. Blessings on your fundraising Pottsville church!
Even yard sales can become moments for missions. Love it!
