I gave away our baby bassinet and sheets this week. My Bible study leader is expecting her first child next month, and while I had planned to sell this bassinet on Craigslist and make a little $$ off of it, I decided to give it away instead. Actually I was convicted by the Lord that I need to trust Him for my finances, and that I didn't need to take money from a friend to save up for the things I feel I need more money for. I just didn't feel right about it. Especially since the bassinet & sheets were gifted to us. We have been so blessed with so many things. I think I will continue to wrestle with giving versus selling.
In addition to that, there were 8 baby rattles and toys that I donated yesterday to MMCenter. One of them was even brand new in the bag. Part of me wanted to save it for our baby, since it was brand-spankin' new. But truthfully we already have stacking rings, and so many more baby toys. I hope someone else will feel they are special in having a brand new toy for their baby.
Today's Toss:
1 bassinet
2 bassinet sheets
8 baby rattles and toys
=11 baby items on to new homes, to bless more babies!
