I know I’ve talked before about demonstrating good stewardship by living simply and I’ve also written my “Ode to Hand-me-downs” but I just want to once again encourage everyone to share and pass things on.

Use what God has blessed you with to in turn, bless others.

The other day I walked out and found three bags of very nice hand-me-down clothes sitting on the front step for my kids. Of course, my daughter had to change right away into her “new” clothes. She loved it and I was so grateful.

Then I went to church and was handed two more bags of hand-me-downs! It seems with the weather changing it’s time to go through those clothes!

So I spent this afternoon going through my daughters clothes and while sorting, I made a bag to pass onto another family. Next I’ll move on to the boys clothes, what fun:)

I’m sure we all have a family with children younger than ours we can pass things onto. If you don’t you can always Freecycle them or donate them to an organization. There’s so many ways to share what we’ve been given.
