10K in 20 days (or less now..)

When I first read "10K in 20 days" I thought my blog-friend Courtney was speaking of running.

But she wasn't.

See what she's up to by clicking here. I sure wish I could make the time RIGHT NOW to express to you just how important I feel it is to support adoptions.

But, it's almost 4:30pm and my people are waking up from naps and we have a gymnastics "performance" tonight that I must prepare my little gymnasts for. And, I still haven't showered today.

Please, please, please, go here and see how you can help bring 26+ orphans home to their forever families.

Surely you can spare $5 today to help change the course of a child's life.

Thanks friends.

Today, I took the kids to the "hair cut place" so Lucas could get a trim. We had lunch with Luke then came home.

When I checked the mailbox, there was a letter for Elizabeth. No address, no return address, just her name typed across the front.

I put the twins down for their nap, and together, Elizabeth and I opened it. Her eyes lit up when she saw it's contents, a single, crisp, green $10 bill.

"Wow! A dollar!" she exclaimed.

"Ten dollars." I said.

With that, she began the following song:

"I gotta dollar, I gotta dollar, hey, hey, hey, hey!" (stolen from the Little Rascals)

Also inside was typed note, thanking Elizabeth for giving money to Chris and Lindy and purchasing a picture to teach others about Jesus. The note was not signed.

Elizabeth was amazed that someone else knew the story. She has been singing the dollar song for 10 minutes now and is truly grateful.

So, if you are reading this, and you are the anonymous thank you person, I say "Thank You." Elizabeth saw God's grace in you, as much as you saw it in her.

And...after much deliberation, she plans on purchasing a Barbie.
