Pay it Foward

I just got off the phone with my sister in law and I am in complete awe over a conversation that we had. My brother and his family are downsizing and have decided to sell their current home and to move back into one of their smaller rental homes they own. Because they are downsizing in the size of their home they also have to downsize in everything that they are taking to this house. Instead of selling all of their items (which are pretty nice things that the normal person would be very tempted to purchase) or instead of giving everything to Goodwill for Goodwill just to turn around and sell-They are going to have a yard sale. But not just a yard sale. Everything is FREE! When the shopper comes up and ask how much something is, they are going to tell them to just take it and to give it a good home. For some folks, the normal yard sellers, this will just be jackpot....but for others-who are honestly going to yard sales because maybe they've lost their job or have had another family crisis and wonder how they are going to put spring/summer clothes on their child or whatever their case may be....This could be an act from God that they will never forget.
