OMGawsh - What Else Can I Say.

Yesterday I was talking about Emi's lemonade stand and the incredibly generous people that have helped our cause. Today, we had a gentleman come up, buy a cup and go about his business. After he hit, he came back over, and asked Em a couple questions. He stated the he was Budhist. He continued to kind of drill Emilee on what she was going to attend and what she enjoyed about 'Christian Camp' and her church. She gave kid answers, but continued to have an answer for each question. He smiled, reached into his wallet and handed her a HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL!!!!! We almost all fainted. He told her to keep up the great work and enjoy herself at camp. And that she was half way there and next year that they would both go and he'd pay for both! Just when you think you've seen it all.
Gramma and I had tears in our eyes and I think Em was not sure what to think. She (and me and Gramma) thanked him profusely and I said God Bless You as he went away.

Emilee, Gramma and I stopped, joined hands and Em said a beautiful prayer of thanks and blessings for the men. She says the most gorgeously appropriate prayers!

I was just commenting to TEE about God providing yesterday. He has provided beyond our prayers. Instead of going to stay at her cousins house for a few weeks, Emilee has decided to stay here and earn money for someone else to go to camp. As much as she drives me nuts some days, how proud can a parent possibly be?

EMILEE, YOU ROCK!!! I LOVE YOU!!
