Prayer Request

Today is a very sad day. My heart goes out to all the individuals affected by the earthquake that struck near the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince. 

Friends lets join together in prayer for all these families. 

Thank you

Humbling Experience

Please forgive me for not posting earlier.  With Christmas come and gone, being sick, re-vamping the store and dealing with my internet problems …I just had not been able to.

As many of you might have read, the week before Christmas I made a weekend journey to Cuidad Acuna Mexico to make a very special delivery. I don’t know how to explain it, other then to say it was one of the most touching and humbling experiences.

As we traveled on this journey I felt a great sense of peace and excitement  to be able to complete this very important task that God had put in my heart to accomplish.  The whole trip was a huge blessing.

The blessings started the night before leaving when my cousin brought over 2 huge boxes of food for me to give to anyone in need. I was so thankful and moved by such a kind and  thoughtful gesture.

I was also moved by all of you that stopped by the store after reading my blog and are willing to help and all my blogger buddies that have also offered to take a hand in making this possible again next year. I appreciate you all so much. 

The biggest blessing to me this holiday season was seeing the children receiving these gifts little faces light up. Everybody was so genuinely thankful  for  us being there. It was truly magical and I thank God for electing me to experience it.

Merry Christmas

But let all who take refuge in you be glad; Let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may Rejoice in you.

Christmas Blessings

Dear Friends,

Although I started this blog to showcase my store, I felt the need to share something with you all that is personal. 

A  few weeks ago while traveling out of town, I heard a sermon on the radio about how God gives each of us different  gifts and skills to glorify his name and to be a blessing to others by putting our talent to use. Everyone has something they can do. Which left me to ponder what I was doing to be a blessing? Sure I feel I am good person…attend church…pray…read the bible….etc…..but what  am I really doing that is significant?

In a time and age when everything is so fast paced..and every minute of the day is taken up with work, business, kids, home, tasks, chores, it seems that I have just been caught up in the  hustle and bustle of the season. 

I feel that I am so fortunate and blessed. Even through this year has been tough for my family and me we have so much to be grateful for.

In that four hour trip, I had a conversation with God.  Thanking him and praising his name. ( mainly letting him know just how much I loved him and how thankful and humbled I am by the change he has made in my life ) I asked him how I could be of use  and to show me what I can be doing to honor him.

The following week I got my response, I was listening to my little cousin saying how most of her life she never had received a Christmas gift, much less decorated for Christmas.  Her  father died when she was just a little girl and my aunt could not afford anything extra.  They lived in a country where there is no handouts, no assistance for single parents, there is no help from the government, charities, assistance programs etc., so you just make do.  As she was telling me this it really touched me. How many kids will not get one gift? They will never know what it feels like to receive a special something and to be thought of on this very special day. In that moment God put it in my heart to do my part. To use my skill and to be a blessing to others.

It took a little bit of work but I was able to contact a pastor in Cuidad Acuna Mexico  and work with him on touching the lives of 50 children.  I will be taking each one of them a  goodie bag.  Each goodie bag contains a  small toy, or lotion, socks and candy. 

The reason I am sharing this with you is in hopes that next year  we can increase the amount of children that will receive these. I would like to ask that if you find it in your heart to donate a small toy, mittens, scarf's  or any item will do, we can do something significant. I will be collecting items all year.

I will  be sharing photos of this journey with you upon my return.

You can bring them by my store or mail them to 855 Butternut Abilene, Texas 79602

God Bless You Dear Friends

 

P.S. Special Thanks to my cousin and friends that  have helped me,  and motivated me to do this!
