Blessed by the Small Things

I have 2 year old twin sisters and I have a cool story to tell about how we get some of their clothes.

A few weeks before the twins were born we had a shed delivered. My grandpa was talking to the man who delivered it and told him about how my mom was on bedrest because she was expecting the twins. The man told us about his sister (Mrs. Y) who had twins the year before. We didn't think anything of it at the time. 


A day or two after the babies were born we got a phone call from Mrs. Y asking us if we wanted clothes from her twins. My grandma told her my mom would call her back when she got home.
My mom called her back a few days later and Mrs. Y told her she would send a package in the mail with a few preemie and newborn clothes the next day! She was going to drop the other clothes off on Sunday. (We found out she went to church close by)
Since then we have received about 6 huge bags of clothes for our twins and are so blessed by them. 






I love telling this story becasue it just shows how the Lord can work things out. Could we ever have imagined that our shed man would bring us so much more then a shed? I think not.

If you ever have something you want to bless people with, but you think it might be awkward, (my brother delivered your shed; do you want some twin clothes?) pray and take the plunge. It might just turn out to be a great blessing in someone's life!
