Yesterday afternoon it started to snow. We didn't get a foot or two - maybe not even an inch or two - but it was beautiful to wake up to snow today....
Pjs and, in all the excitement, shoes on the wrong feet...
And...while you are listening to Bing and a classic Christmas favorite, I will update you on Olga, and introduce you to Kareen...
Today on Patti's Blog, you can go and read it for yourself by clicking on the red words, we were updated that there are several families that have stepped up to adopt not just Olga, but several other children from Reece's Rainbow. I am in tears writing this!! Your prayers and donations have brought not just a family for Olga, but families for several of these "cast off" children in Europe!! If you go to Patti's blog and Reece's Rainbow you can read about how there is not a shortage of families for these children, but a shortage of funds. I also urge you to look into the organization Reece's Rainbow and see what an amazing organization this is. Everyone working for this cause is a volunteer and profits nothing, except the knowledge that by their actions they are partaking in an amazing plan that God has for these children. God has a plan, and by taking action and responding and doing everything that can be thought of...blogging, give-aways, prayer...Patti, and everyone else who donates, prays, blogs, or TAKES ACTION in another way, on these children's behalf, is bringing attention to a cause that OBVIOUSLY is on God's heart. I urge you to go to Patti's blog and read about all the obstacles that have come against this cause. There is no doubt that God has used everyone to bring about His hearts desire. It is the action of individuals, the emotional, Spiritual, and physical (in this case the physical being money) investment by individuals, that God uses. What an AWESOME thing, that God can use someone like me - not highly intellectual or incredibly talented - but someone who simply chose to take a few moments to blog and pray about some little children in an orphanage in Europe. I am asking you to please keep these kids at Reece's Rainbow in your prayers. "Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act." Prov. 24:12 There are so many children just like Olga. Kareen is one of them...
Today on Patti's blog, a new give-away has begun. An I-Pad is being given away to one lucky person who donates to Kareen or Olga, and comments about it on Patti's blog. A little Christmas Miracle brought some Miracle Money to Patti in the mail - literally - and she used it to purchase an I-Pad for another give-away. Once again, I urge you to go to Patti's blog and read about all that is taking place. Your Christmas Spirit will get a CHARGE that will separate this Christmas from all the rest. Check it out.
