Prophetic Musings

Thoughts from a small-town, old-fashioned guy living in the suburbs.

We are blessed

As most of you know, we're having a baby in May. It's been almost five years since we've had a little one around the house. Ashlee and Alex are six and five and have long since grown out of their baby clothes. We gave most of what we had away, along with all the furniture and toys. We kept a few things here and there, mostly sentimental type stuff. We have been totally unprepared for little Katie's presence in the house.

That's where our friends and church have come in. Last weekend, I think a Children's Place opened up a franchise in our living room. Katie now has enough clothes that she could almost wear one outfit each day for the first year of her life. Since we're probably going to add another little girl to the family in the future, we'll get a lot of use out of these clothes. What we can't use will be passed on to someone else.

Here are a few pictures to give an idea of what we received. Not just clothes, but furniture too. The three gray bins in the last picture are all filled with clothes. We've still got a crib and a changing table coming as well. A very heartfelt thank you to everyone who offered and contributed. God bless you all.
