2. The WORLD (apparently) was notified through facebook.
3. A couple sweet women from my California church banded together and purchased a new bike for me.
4. This new bike might last me a lifetime. It is delightful.
5. The bike's name is Dotty, which means "gift from God."
6. Right now, Dotty and I are just acquaintances. She has a lot of gears. Friendship may take a little time and an instruction manual to blossom.
It's kind of funny because I saw your post and thought, "Sweet, I can totally buy Bethany a new bike." And then I read down and saw your mom's post and thought, "Darn. I have been beaten."

Nick Rassi also offered his bike. Several others began hunting for good deals for me. I am, essentially, surrounded by loving people. I'm sitting on a giant, fluffy Christian pillow, essentially. :]
ReplyDeleteIt's not too late to bless Bethany. She could use some shredded cheddar chz & some fruit, strawberries, maybe. I was there this weekend & bought her some groceries, but forgot to get her those items. She will tell you no, no way. Don't listen to her. From Bethany's Mama
ReplyDeleteBethany, I am a friend of your mom's and I am just so happy that you have people that care about you almost as much as she does! So thankful for a giving heart of the bike!! God is good! Mylinda
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Bethany's world Dotty!
ReplyDeleteGod's blessings poured out through His people. Sweet. Perhaps you should paint Dotty with polka-dots so as potential other hoodlums won't be so inclined? Hugs...
