USBORNE books Fundaiser

My dear friend Mandy Golightly is an Usborne books consultant and has generously offered to donate 50% of her profits to a wonderful family in the adoption process.  Thank you Mandy for your giving, generous heart.  May God bless you in return!

Charlie and Bonnie Schilling have a wonderful family.  3 biological kids and 3 kids from Ethiopia.  Recently, their son's 2 brothers from Ethiopia have become available for adoption and this family is raising funds to go bring them home!  What a blessing, and what a step out in faith.  They have listened to the call that the Lord has placed in their hearts, and even though the task is scary, they believe that the Lord is leading them.  I am believing with them for every penny for this adoption of these two boys who need to be with their brother, and need a forever family.

Would you think about helping them bring their sons home?  You don't have to do a thing except place an online order.  You can do it in the comfort of your own home, in your jammies, in your undies!  These books that you order are absolutely great books, of high quality and kids love them.  The best part is that they will ship directly to your own home.  You get something wonderful out of it, books for kids, but the best part is that you could be helping take care of orphans like the Lord commanded us to do.  Thank you for opening your heart to this family.

My Stuff Bags

I just cannot stand the thought of kids in pain.  Especially emotional pain.  I have had the privilege of being raised by 2 wonderful parents, which today seems like a total luxury.  I am blessed.  Why should I be blessed because I was born on the right continent?  Why should I be blessed because I was born into the right family?  The fact is that I have no right to live in my blessed little world and turn my head away from those kids that don't have the same luxury that I do.  I simply can't turn my head away.  I hope you can't either.

MyStuffBags is something I came across when searching for children's charities in the United States.  It is an awesome organization.  Many kids get ripped from their homes and end up in foster care.  Most if those kids leave their home with a small trash bag of belongings and enter their new home with next to nothing.  But this organization's goal is to give every child entering the foster care system a bag full of their very own stuff.  Stuffed animals, toiletries, school supplies, baby items and blankets.  My eye caught this because I am not great at knitting or crocheting, but I can make those cute little flannel knot blankets and there is a quick pattern on the website.  You can get the kits at most fabric stores, and with a coupon they would be an awesome price!  There are dimensions on the site for the blankets that they need, as well as the address of where you can send the stuff.

There are so many kids in the world that could use your help. Some right in your own backyard.  One blanket could make a difference.  You will never see who gets it, where it goes, or the joy that it will bring.  But God will see, and it will make his heart so happy.

Here is the link to the website:
