Patience is a virtue!

One of the unofficial rules of shopping at Goodwill is if you are looking for something in particular, then you need to be patient!

My youngest daughter has been needing a bible carrying case for the longest time and truthfully, I wasn't interested in buying a brand new case at the store. Several months ago, I told her that we'd begin our search for a bible case for her.

Each time we'd enter a Goodwill, she'd remind me to look for her a bible case. After months of looking for a bible case, we finally found one! And oh my... it's so cute!

I paid $5.00 for this bible case and my little girl is thrilled! It's such a great lesson for them (and me too!) that it's okay to wait for things we want and oftentimes, we'll be blessed by just waiting.

The other lesson is... you can find just about anything at Goodwill if you look hard enough!
