A Bundle of Love for Christmas

Want to give a gift that embodies the spirit of Christmas giving?

First, I want you to meet someone special, Emma. An adorable baby girl, born into less-than-ideal circumstances resulting in prematurity and a brain bleed. She was only 3lb 5oz at birth and diagnosed with cerebral palsy, complete blindness in her left eye and shadow vision in her right eye. By the Grace of God, a lot of praying and love she is being fostered by my niece and family. (Soon to be adopted!) Which will make her a forever part of my family. She will likely never see a sunrise or a smile, and struggle to hug her family.

And yet, her smile is a thing of pure joy. Her family absolutely loves her! They deeply believe that love is a thing we do, not just something we say.

So I'm following their leadership, and inviting you. Here's what we can do to help:

A few years ago, I published a little book to inspire parents to take a minute to pray a 'Goodnight Prayer' with their children. This year, I plan to donate $5 from every holiday sale of this book to Emma’s care. My Niece, Nikki & family, want a portion of sales to go to United Cerebral Palsy, as well.

We started this last year. For every book sold, we donated four books to local food banks, pregnancy care centers, and children’s foster care. Because of you, hundreds of children received a book.

Join in the spirit this year! - look around you, there are children in your midst who will benefit so deeply from being given a book that shares the joy of prayer. Be their light. Buy several books and give the spirit of Christmas as a gift.

You will bless the children receiving the books, and little Emma, and United Cerebral Palsy. Your simple action benefits so many! Now that's a wonderful way to share the spirit of Christmas!

Like you, Nikki and I agree: Emma is a gift from God. Her light is meant to shine. She and her family have a long road ahead, but together we can love her through it. Hele us give extra hope to Emma and other little ones just like her, and share prayer all in one simple action.

"Let us stop just saying we love people; let us really love them and show it by our actions.” Follow either of these links, and buy your books today: https://www.ebay.com/itm/283796009912 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084Z2RY1W

May your hearts and homes be filled with the true meaning of Christmas this year!

God bless,
