It has come and gone...Emily's Lemonade Stand. It was an amazing day of grace, being a proud father, having a lot of fun, seeing the Lord provide. It was great seeing friends, college students, kids, strangers, neighbors, all take part. Even the mail man delivered a couple of envelopes that had money from out of town friends that were to Emily and for her lemonade. I haven't figure out how to mail those cups of lemonade yet...
Her stand was open from 1:30-4:30.
When we were all done and counted the money there was $447.85! BOOM! Thank you Father.
Best part of the day was when we were about to count the money. Emily prayed out loud and said, "Thank You for answering my prayers". Before she counted the money, she knew God had answered her prayers.
What a day...
Our child from Ethiopia, that is not even here yet, has such a wonderful big sister! Can't wait for the day I get to tell him/her about the lemonade stand.
I got all teary eyed reading this...because I just LOVE her heart!! Thank you God for answering Emily's prayers!
ReplyDeleteThanks be to God! what an awesome God!
ReplyDeleteWe are so proud of all of you.
Love Nanny and Pap-pa
Love this and the heart behind it! What a great big sister (and parents for allowing her idea to become a reality :-). Who would have ever thought a lemonade stand could make almost $450?! God is good!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of precious Emily. She WILL be a great big sister. It is going to be exciting seeing how God provides.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Can't wait to see how the Lord continues to amaze you on this adoption journey!!
