Memphis Garage Sale Benefitting Orphanage in South Korea

This weekend, there is a garage sale hosted my some of my sweet friends, the Owens. I've had the privilege of knowing this family for over a decade, and they have always been a wonderful example of Christ's love through their compassionate nature and positive outlook. 

This garage sale is special to me and so many others because all of the money earned will go directly to the Issac Home in Seoul, South Korea--a place that, to me, seems an eternity away, but will always be right next door. This is because my sweet friend, Danielle Owen, was adopted from there (follow her blog and read for yourself about her amazing experiences-- here and here just to name a few). I'm sure many of you have experienced the miracle of adoption personally or know many people who have benefited from this wonderful process. I know that it is one of the most special forms of showing Christ's love because it is through adoption that we, too, are made heirs to God's kingdom. 

Over 80 children live in this small home, and most of them will probably never be adopted. This money will specifically go toward buying them Christmas presents; to show them that they are loved and wanted and special.

I encourage you to stop by this happy event and share it with your friends! It will take place here on Friday (Sept. 28th) from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. and Saturday (Sept. 29th) from 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
