Thankful Thursday



It is Thursday, right? Today I am thankful for so many things. Here's a little list for you.

  • my salvation...so thankful that Jesus saw me for who I am and loved me anyway, then drew me to Himself and showed me His plan of redemption.

  • my husband...I've never known anyone to love as sacrificially as he does. When I was sick earlier this week, he slept on the floor so he'd be nearby whenever one of his girls needed him.

  • my girls...the great joy they bring me every day.


Those are the biggies. Here are some small joys in my life.




  • sunshine

  • jazz

  • black licorice

  • good books

  • belly laughs

  • handmade crafts from Adeline

  • Gerber Daisies from my sweet husband...enjoy!

Hello Kristen,

My name is Matt St. Pierre. I serve with the Christian Alliance for Orphans, which is a coalition of more than fifty respected Christian ministries committed to adoption, foster care and global orphan care. We’ve really appreciated some of your blog posts on this front, and wanted to ask if you’d be willing to be a part of an effort we’re now organizing.

A core goal of the Alliance is uniting believers to work together on these issues and to speak with a united voice on behalf of orphans. As we’ve seen through recent initiatives like Orphan Sunday, our voice and impact is far more powerful when we’re interconnected and working in unison.

So, we wanted to ask if you’d be willing to be part of our “Bloggers for Orphans” team. All that would involve is us sharing with you an occasional (rarely more than once a month) issue or opportunity that you could choose to highlight on your blog. These would likely range from ways individuals can become more involved in orphan issues (such as Orphan Sunday or the annual Alliance Summit) to newly-released data on orphans. There’d be no obligation—just an occasional email, and our appreciation. You could certainly feel free to cut-and-paste things we share…or give it your own language and analysis…or not use it all.

Please let me know if you’d be willing to be a part of this at matt@christianalliancefororphans.org!

With Appreciation,

Matt
