First week of June, parents moving, just graduated, it's just a rough deal. Got to do a garage sale, and here are all these blue and white cheerleader uniforms. Some say Tigers (Wills Point), some say Eagles (Lindale), with pom-poms and megaphones, 6 years of cheerleading now behind her. Oh well.
No one buys! Not even the socks! Breaking down the garage sale in early afternoon, depressing to have all that stuff. Sure can't sell THAT in Houston.
Then a grandmother and elementary girl came up the driveway; probably the last customer of the day. The little girl asked: "Do you have any cheerleader stuff?????" Ah, what a moment. What timing. And what a send-off to a new place.
She didn't buy it all; still two megaphones and some pom-poms in the attic, one uniform for "dress-up" for the grandchildren. But, it made the day for one girl!
Sometimes you have to have patience to "make the day." Even with God. God does NOT pay every week, reward every prayer, or do what we ask when we ask. But, the relationship holds, and grace carries the day.
Not every thing "works"; but there are moments that are just GOOD.
Blessings to you.
