Pretty Amazing Roo

 I have had the

JOY

of meeting such

beautiful people here in blogland.

One of them is Ruth.

This summer, Ruth hosted a huge garage sale that raised money for women in need.

She wrote:

  "We are trying to raise money to purchase items
needed to make "layette packs" for families in the
surrounding area that have little to no support.
And sometimes nothing much to give their child.

It broke my heart when someone told me how
some women come home from the hospital without
so much as a blanket for their baby. It's a different
world than the one I live in. How about you?"

Here is her "I have a Dream" post.

The sale was a great success and she was able to assemble a dozen layettes for the truly needy.

Read all about it here!

These are no ordinary layettes.

They are packed with sweet things, many necessities and lots of love!

Here's what's inside!

A few weeks ago, Ruth inspired her friends, family and greater community

to deliver more hope to women in need.  She was able to assemble 12 more layettes!

* Amazing *

Amazing to see the Spirit moving among us.

Stop over to "it's true, sighed roo"

and say hi!

She's a pretty awesome person!

 

God bless you, Ruth!

Have You Met Ann?

One of the first people that I met

in this ocean of beautiful photographs and writing

is Ann Voskamp.

The story was Power Source.

{part two here}

I printed this story and read it to everyone in my family.

 Today I read one of her recent posts; it was so amazing, I had to share it.

The Fish Principle

I visit Ann's posts almost every day.

Her stories, her faith journey, her pictures that speak 1,000 words

the sweet piano solos

nourish and affirm.

I am grateful to have found her.

"In the experiences of a simple/crazy life,
farming Canadian dirt, raising
half a dozen exuberant kids,
stringing sheets out on the line....

I'm praying to slow and see
the sacred in the chaos,
the Cross in the clothespin,
the flame in the bush.

Just a bit of
listening, laundry, liturgy...
life."

I met some of my dear blog friends through Ann's Gratitude Community.

♥ Thank you for being there ♥
