We made about one sixth of the amount of money as we did on Thursday, but that's only because most things are gone. Today we'll be offer rock bottom pricing, we'll match our competitor's ads, we've reduced to liquidation prices, we're going out of business. We are going to put Carter at the end of the block dressed as Mr. Penny, your best price buddy, so he can direct traffic.
I am hoping that yesterday was the most boring day. The first days is good because people want the best of what is there. The last day is good because people want great deals (which they will probably get here).
We had a gentleman drop off a note to us. The note explained that he is working on gathering left over garage sale goods to resell and give the procedes to someone he knows in Isreal. This person in Isreal is running a radio program to help show the Jewish people that Jesus was not just a good man - that he was indeed the son of God. It appears to be like "Jews for Jesus." Tina and I will be praying about this. Our original plan was to donate it to our church since they use the money mostly for international ministries (Care of Creation and Garden of Hope) through Hidden Treasures (part of Masterworks). God works in amazing ways, so we'll see what He leads us to do.
The letter reads:
This may be a strange note to you but.
I was at your garage sale today and noticed your sign saying you were taking donations for a Baptist mission program.
I am a Baptist and support the spreading of the gospel which is why I am writing this.
We are planning a garage sale in the future to raise money for a Jewish couple in Isreal who are involved in radio ministry and are making a film attempting to win Jewish people in Isreal to Christ. Their work is done entirely by donations.
For some reason I felt I should write this to see if you would be interested in donating your left over sale items to this fundraiser. If so please contact me.
Thanks
[NAME]
