IF: Little Things

When I first read the Illustration Friday topic of "little things" I thought, okay cute little ladybugs...but on the drive to work, with my thoughts and prayers for Julian. This "little things" drawing came to mind.

Simple "little things" we use everyday and most likely take for granted.

Food
Water
Toilet Paper
Toothbrush

and the list goes on.

But what if you are

homeless

unemployed

a single mom on food stamps

which won't buy

soap
shampoo
deodorant

or anything else of a non food item

like tampax or pads.

So I am asking you to add a few items to your grocery list and not just for the holiday season of giving, but weekly or at least monthly. Then drop these extras off at your local Care Center, Salvation Army, Church Food Bank, Shelter, etc. Every city or town has one.

Thank you.

For More "little things"

Fasting for Julian

The Cheese Cross for Charity Auction on eBay ends in a couple hours. As a day for prayer and fasting begins.

Julian's story is shared on Michelle's Blog and Dawn's Blog

From Michelle "Fasting can be dangerous for some people with certain health conditions so please use your best judgement. Our church encourages people who want to fast but cannot/shouldn't/ don't want to give up food to fast dessert, TV, technology or anything else that would be a sacrifice.

When you feel "hunger" for food or otherwise...PRAY FOR JUJU!"

On the sidebar on Michelle's blog is a paypal donate button. All proceeds will go to Julian and his family.

Please join us today. Pray for a miracle.

eBay Auction "Cheese Cross" for Julian

Tis the season for Angels.

Michelle being one of them. In a hectic Monday morning a sign was given which sparked an idea.

An eBay Auction to raise funds for a family deserving of our help. Add the auction to your favorites. Email it to your friends. Post a link on your blog. If a grilled cheese sandwich can net $28K or whatever it was surely this can aspire to similar amount.

If you have no desire to own a cheese cross, but have the desire to contribute to the fund for Julian, Michelle has a donate button on her sidebar.

Julian's story is featured regularly on Dawn's blog "Because I Said So".
