Buy a bag and give water! Oh and a giveaway!

 Spring bags are here!  But what does that have to do with water!?!?

Do you remember my friend Courtney and her cool Live with Less t-shirts?  She is so amazing and has totally inspired me to get involved with Compassion’s Water of Life Program.

 Every day over 4,000 children are dying of water-related diseases such as cholera and typhoid that are easily preventable. Many more are suffering sickness, diarrhea and acute stomach pains – illnesses that stop children going to school and growing up into healthy adults.

  • Approximately 1.8 million children die each year as a result of diseases caused by unclean water and poor sanitation. This is around 5,000 deaths a day.
  • Water-related diseases are the second biggest killer of children worldwide.
  • Worldwide, approximately 425 million children under 18 do not have safe water.

So what does this have to do with spring bags!?!?!  Buy a Button Bird Designs bag today through March 1, and $10.00 from each bag purchased will be donated to Compassion’s Water of Life Program.

My friend wrote a book! and a giveaway!!

journels tracie

This is my friend Tracie.  I like her a lot.  She wrote a book about forgiveness and I think you should read it.

31 Days of Forgiveness 2

This is her book, 31 Days of Forgiveness {through the eyes of grace}.  I would love to give 31 Days of Forgiveness  a beautifully written review, one it truly deserves, however words and writing are not my gifts.  I will do my best and try to do this awesome book justice.   This book is awesome (see I already used the word awesome twice in the first paragraph)!!

Honestly I started reading this book with the attitude, I don’t have anyone to forgive.  I have been blessed with good people in my life.  Not a lot bad has happened to me.  Now people who have had a loved one killed by a drunk driver, a marriage broken by infidelity, or someone who has been abused, those are the people who are going to have to decide if they want to forgive or not.  But what about bitterness, resentment, and anger?  Yep unfortunately I can relate to those.  Sometimes I tell a person I forgive them but inside I’m still holding on to that grudge.  The grudge only hurts me.  This book really opened my eyes and I learned a lot about forgiveness and myself.

 If you want to lead a physically and spiritually healthier life this is a great book to read.  If you want a deeper, stronger relationship with God, this is a great book to read.  I will never look at forgiveness the same or take it so lightly.

31 Days of Forgiveness {through the eyes of grace} changed the way I look at forgiveness.

Also Allllll proceeds of 31 Days of Forgiveness will go to The Seed Company.  Today, nearly one-third of the world’s language groups, representing 350 million people, are still waiting for God’s Word in a language they can understand clearly.  The Seed Company enables you to support local Bible Translators as they make God’s message available in the language of their people.

The electronic version of 31 Days of Forgiveness is FREE for the next 72 hours!! Shout it from the rooftops and tell all your friends!
