Day 6 of 8; GIVE $8, GET 8

If you are visiting this blog for the first time, welcome! Thanks for stopping by and reading our story.  Let me fill you in.. We are in the process of adopting a sweet boy from Uganda who will be turning 8 next month.  In honor of his next birthday we are asking if people would consider giving $8 and asking 8 friends to do the same.  International adoption costs are huge but our hope is if a lot of people give a little it will all add up.

Want to be inspired by some kids?  My nieces, who are 6 and 9 have committed to give $8 to help bring their cousin home.  My six year old niece is giving ALL.  Eight dollars is all she has in her piggy bank.  She is a saver and has saved everything she has received from the tooth fairy for the last 8 teeth  : )  They both have written emails out to 8 of their friends to encourage them to do the same.  And their friends are responding.. I am inspired by their generosity, aren't you?  Here is a pic of them with our kiddos.  (my nieces are the little blonde girl and the one on the bike)  Thank you K and L, you girls rock!




AND THANK YOU!!! We are so blessed as we see God provide each day through the generosity of friends, family, and even strangers.  Please continue to share our story and encourage others to give.  We only have a few more days!  Pray that God will continue to move people to give, can't wait to post a picture of J home.  All of you are a part of our journey, thank you, thank you, thank you!
