I've been teaching extra certification classes this year and we've been saving that money to buy Matt and Micah new beds because either they've been growing or their beds are shrinking! Since I got a very nice paycheck last Friday, we decided to go shopping on Saturday. We borrowed neighbor Russ' truck and headed to the store every good Mercy Shipper loves - IKEA! Three hours and two beds later, we were home - with beds, mattresses, mattress pads and duvets!
Fast forward to Sunday - it was announced at our third church service that we had three beds and two dressers to give away. By Sunday evening we only had one bed left - everything would be picked up on Tuesday . . . until I checked e-mails around 3:30 yesterday - could they come at five TODAY (yesterday!) and pick everything up? Like everything! Even the unwanted bed!
We said, "Yes", and so began the mad flurry of emptying dressers, taking down beds, clearing off beds, picking up Matt from work and even eating supper! Phenomenal! Mission completed before Pastor Paul and the crew arrived!
And what a blessing to bless two families without beds with ours! Not the newest or the best, but we know that there are three happy campers out there who slept in their very own brand "new" beds last night! To God be the glory . . .
