Blessings

 Hello, friends!

It is really peaceful here.  It is snowing outside.  The baby is sleeping.  Christmas music is playing.  Pumpkin bars are baking.  What more could one wish for?




Some blessings from this month:

• warm, fuzzy blankets
• my new correspondents Samantha and Elizabeth
• letter and photo from Junior
• letter from Aruna
• snow-tipped trees
• bubbles
• Aubrey and Emilie (two girls from my four year old class)
• colorful sunrises
• the baby's smile
• a cool night's fog
• Christmas cookies
• whipped frosting
• and so many more!!

Join me in passing on blessings this Christmas.  Give the gift of hope, healing, or rescue.

Change a life!

Linking up with Jill's Compassion Joys post.

Giveaway

Hello!

Jill over at Compassion Family is doing a giveaway.  It is for an awesome Compassion journal.  You should really check it out HERE.

To enter, you have to go to Compassion and pick a child to pray over for a sponsor.  So, I thought I would share with you who I chose.

Jade

Perla

They are twins!!  Perla and Jade live in the Dominican Replublic.  They were born April 28, Carlos' birthday.  Please join me in praying for these precious three-year-olds!

Thursday's This and That

Hello!

Today I am going to copy one of my blogging friend's ideas, so make sure to check out her awesome blog HERE.

Outside of my window: The trees are blowing and changing colors.  The grass is finally green again, and it is growing quickly!

Around the house: I just finished washing dishes.  K-LOVE is playing on my laptop.  My sisters are working on school.

My school: Well, I have a lot of books to read this week.  I am working on pictures for my photography course, struggling through algebra, and hoping to get onto geometry soon.  I am dreading writing an essay for a group writing class.

I am thinking about: Compassion, like always.  Specifically my sponsored child Mabel who will be graduating this month, and all the lives changed and fun had during Compassion blogger's month.  I am also thinking about how cool it would be to go on a missions trip.

Prayer requests: Sharmin- she needs a sponsor before October 12.  Carlos- a boy I corresponded with before he moved away from the Compassion project.  There is no church near his home.

Don't forget to check out Blogging from the Boonies!

Awesome Blog Alert!

Hello!

I follow many blogs.  They are all really awesome!  I must say that this is only one of three blogs that I follow that do not write often about Compassion International.  The other two are missionaries' blogs. 

This blog has two authors.  They are both really cool people, and I am blessed to be friends with them.  Without further ado, I present you-

Free and Holy

Also, I really recommend these two posts-
