HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JB

Today is JB's birthday! The years have flown by! Yesterday was Haleys birthday! Again time has flown by.
Not much going on in my world today, dinner at Panera....Yummy, I need soup. I've been watching the snow flurries out my living room window. I love seeing snow, of course I am warm and cozy in my house.
My thought for today, think before you speak.

The right word spoken at the right time is as beautiful as gold apples in a silver bowl. Proverbs 25:11

I just read this my daily planner and thought it was worth sharing. Speaking of daily planner, I am working towards the goal of being more organized in 2009. It is a process. They (whoever they are) say it takes 21 days to develop a habit, well I have about 40 days left in this year so hopefully I will get there. Life is a journey and this is just one that I am on.
Be Blessed

ONE CAN

Here we go again! Waited waaaayyyy to long to post.

JB and I have taken on a mission to help out out local food bank. They totally ran out of food two weeks ago, and have gotten some donations. My heart was really touched when I learned there was no food, complete with pictures of the empty bins, and shelves.
I feel like the Lord really touched my heart and with it gave me a real visual of kids collecting one can for the hungry. So, we named our mission/campaign (this is the first time I have called it a mission) anyway it is called One Can---Feed the Hungry. If I can post the flyer we composed, I will. We have had great response in our neighborhood just by going door-to-door!
My thoughts and request is check out you own neighborhood, there may be a need that you can help fill. This winter will be very cold, there are homeless who need coats, socks, blankets, maybe you can collect gently used items and donate them. There are families who will not have Christmas, maybe you and a group of friends can adopt this family. There are so many needs to be met, and what a gift to yourself to make a difference in someones life.
Blessings to All

Feed the Hungry

We are doing a food collection for our local Frederick, Maryland Food Bank. The shelves and baskets at the bank are empty. This food collection will continue until the shelves are overflowing. The theme of our food collection is ONE CAN, Feed the hungry. Our belief is if we can only collect one non-perishable food item from each of our friends and neighbors we can make a difference in the lives of others. If you would like to contribute one or more items to the ONE CAN campaign, please drop them off at:
