FAVORITES

My friend, Carlie, was visiting this past week from Colorado. I can't begin to tell you how excited I was for her to arrive or just how much fun I had while she was here. She moved away a little less than a year ago, but it feels like forever and at the same time like it was yesterday.
I have wanted to throw a "FAVORITES" party for a few years, so Carlie's visit seemed like the perfect opportunity. Each attendee put together a list of their most favorite items- food, beauty products, music, recipes or whatever. Then, during the party we did a gift exchange of our favorites. There was also a lot of food sampling going on. ..have you ever had Carmelized Onion Cheese? We had some seriously YUMMY things!
One favorite that I forgot to mention at the party is my Citrus Salad tree. Not only is it beautiful, but it is really fun to see what is going to grow next. The tree has lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines and kumquats.

What are some of your favorites?

Reece's Rainbow

There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own.

If finances aren't a way you can help, please look across their photos and say a prayer that each one will find their forever family soon. Reece's Rainbow is an International Down Syndrome Orphan Ministry which also advocates for orphans with other disabilities across the globe. Please "grab this button" and post it with a message to your own readers as well. It starts with ONE, but then grows exponentially. You never know, your own post may be one that finds a family for one of these precious children.
