With Every Act of Love

I'm writing from home today, as Vivienne's caught her....fourth? fifth? cold this fall...first year at mother's day out.  So we are keeping her away from you lovely people and trying to get it fought off in time for Christmas!      

If you see my facebook page, you probably know by now that our family is With Every Act of Love's family for December!  This will be our final fundraiser to bring Hannah home.  Here's how it works:

With Every Act of Love is hosting 12 days of giving, which is an envelope fundraiser.  144 envelopes, each ranging from $1-$144, you choose your number (amount of donation #33 envelope=$33.00 donation) by commenting below the facebook post or by messaging them & they will send you the information.  If you need a last minute Christmas gift, they can send you a personalized card to give to your loved one as well.  Here is the link you need to learn more!

Because our 12 Days end on Christmas Eve, I want to say this now.  And probably again after this last fundraiser ends!  But I want to get the word out now.  We are amazed at the people in our lives who are doing this with us!  Thank you won't ever be enough.  Your gifts have pressed us deeper into our commitment to walk with other adopting and newly home families, moving forward, which is the nature of loving acts.  I was so unsure and nervous, not having done this before, but knowing we needed to respond "yes" to the overwhelming leading we were in agreement on.  Understanding what I know of Hannah's story up to now, I get it more- why we had to get started when we did, the perfect timing of events, and I also know the Lord is stretching us yet again through the adoption process.  I know this time of year, we are wrapping our hearts around God taking on flesh and coming to live among us.  We're remembering what was done for us, and learning to love more like that.  What a busy time of year it can be as well.  Thank you for your love, your prayers, and your patience!   
 
The Lord has done great things for us; and we are filled with joy. - Ps 126:3
