Hand-me-downs and second-hand clothes

As a child, I remember having some of my sister's hand-me-down clothes. Kerry liked black. I liked red. So I guess in the end, I didn't end up with many of her clothes. Today, she sends me some of her clothes. She still like black. I still like red. However, in it all, I love to receive her clothes. And my snobby days of thinking that hand-me-down clothes or second-hand clothes weren't very good has gone. It is such a blessing to be handed a box of clothes when really you don't have much money to buy clothes for your children or yourself. To walk into a thrift store or go to a jumble sale and find good quality shoes for $4.00. I call these moments a blessing and encouragement. Many people consign clothes at consignment places. When I have done this, the money has helped me out immensely. So go ahead, look in your cupboard, and see how you can be a blessing to someone else. What you might think is out of day, someone might think is vintage, I mean your Nan's jewelry is now all back in fashion and what a tremendous way to honor her by wearing it. What you might see no good, someone might see a huge blessing. At the end of the day, it is true. It is better to give than to receive.

Wishing you lots of Tasty English Delights.
