The Mulligan Stew adoption fundraiser/giveaway is coming down to its last week. It is amazing (not in a good way) that this year there have only been 120 donors so far. Last year they had 500. That's a LOT of caring people--where are those people this year? The prizes are great, and the total worth is around $5,000. I am sure you can all do the math and figure out that even with just one $5 donation you have pretty good odds of winning something right now. ; ) Personally, I'd rather the odds get worse for me, and better for those kids. But winning a prize would be fun too!
AND there are several matching grants available for some of the kids and families, and one is only for the next 24 hours! If you have not yet visited Julia's blog, would you please go over and consider making a donation? Any size will do!
I confess something--I will never, ever ask any of my friends or family if they donated to any cause close to my heart. It's not my business, and I never, ever want anyone to feel like they have to support orphans just because I do--hopefully God is calling each of us to our own life ministries, and that is enough. But I admit when Julia posts the first names of the people who donated, and I see a familiar name, my heart gives a little leap. Maybe that's my Susan! Maybe that's my Rebecca! I don't know if it is or not, but it is fun to imagine. I'm sure even if it is a different Susan and Rebecca, I will always have this extra warm little spot in my heart for you ladies, just in case that was you. ; )
If it was you, thank you.
So I will never ask any of you if you ever helped ransom any orphans. But on this Sunday morning, the Lord's Day, I am going to ask you if you would please share the Mulligan Stew giveaway with people you know. Would you please consider sharing the links with your family and friends? On facebook, on your own blog, in an email?
If you do, thank you.
