888-DIAPERS

No this isn't a toll-free number you call about diapers. It was the number of newborn diapers my wife and I were blessed with. You see at our last childbirth class our instructor told us that we would no longer be meeting in our regular building because it would be demolished and rebuilt. Because of this, she advised up to take as many baby samplers and expectant parent kits as we want as she would not have space of it in her new office in the new location.

So, at the end of class, most couple grabbed maybe three to ten packs. The instructor was surprised, as there had been no ambiguity in her "please take it all." Finally, ourselves and another couple were the last to leave as we were apparently familiar with the cost of baby bottles, baby laundry detergent, and most importantly diapers. We all started filling BOXES.

Well, like the lepers in 2 Kings 7:8 that came upon the treasure of the Aramean camp, we found that there were more diapers than we could possibly carry and had to return to get the rest. By the time we were done, we ended of with 888 diapers! Praise the Lord.
