Raise money for Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women just by searching the web and shopping online!
I promise there will be a little Wednesday Walk stuff at the end of this post. But, there are a few other things I need to share first. Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women is now listed with www.GoodSearch.com along with 81,000 other non-profit organizations. You can help support our ministry by using Good Search as your search engine and listing Sufficient Grace Ministries for Women as the cause you support. It's actually quite easy to download the goodsearch toolbar right on to your computer. Then everytime you search, a donation is made. They will give a penny for every search done through Good Search. So the more people who participate, the better. They also donate a portion of the proceeds of products purchased through Good Shop at a variety of merchants, to the charity of your choice. The service is free to you and earns money for our organization. As you know, we do not charge bereaved parents for our products or services, so this helps us greatly. We have been so blessed by the support given by everyone recently. And, we are grateful for this opportunity, as well.

A sweet blog friend, Stephanee, recently sent me a lovely gift I wanted to share with you. She has started an organization to support moms who have had a loss. Stephanee received a Dreams of You Memory Package, when her son Vayden was born. She sent us a beautiful picture of Vayden with the Comfort Bear we sent her...and she and Vayden's big brother, Vashon have taken comfort in cuddling the baby-sized bear. I am so blessed to know that this family was comforted by our gift. You can read about Vashon's Cuddle Brother, here.
Stephanee's organization is called My Very Own Angel. Her mission and hope is that mothers would not be ashamed of their precious babies who have gone to heaven or afraid to acknowledge them, but that they would be able to embrace the gift of being their mother. She also would like to share stories of encouragement from those who chose to carry their babies to term and found the time to be a precious gift.
You can contact her, here, to share your story: myveryownangel@gmail.com.
She will also be donating 345 teddy bears to hospitals in memory of her precious Vayden each year. To support her efforts and to support Sufficient Grace Ministries, Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, and String of Pearls, her organization sells the t-shirt that I am modeling below in their Angel Shop. She will donate a portion of their proceeds to the three previously mentioned organizations. Thank you for this gift, Stephanee and for your heart to reach out to hurting families.

And now...what we've been up to...
In between praying for Stellan...
And celebrating a successful end to the summer golf season and the beginning of the fall season for Timothy...
James and I took a trip to the beach at a local quarry. We had a blast enjoying the beauty of God's creation with some sand and water goodness!
Good old summertime fun! Lovin' it...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And...to squeeze one more thing in...just a reminder that tomorrow on Walking With You, we will be sharing about the effect on our marriage after the loss of a baby. What has changed for better or worse? Struggles? Different grieving styles? Prayer needs? Advice and questions. Ways to support one another and grow as a couple. I look forward to walking with each of you.
Love to all...

What awesome organizations you are friends with! Nice job modeling, too! I love me some good summertime fun!
Kelly you look great in the shirt, and yes I had to give Vashon his cuddle brother and he makes me kiss them both goodnight it is the best feeling aside from actually kissing both my boys goodnight. Thank you for getting the word out about My Very Own Angel. We're also on blogger and will be hosting special blog giveaways for mommies of angels.
love you,
Stephanie
I've already been using Goodsearch for all my searches so I should be able to raise quite a bit of change for you. :)
Thanks for sharing about Stephanee! She has such a great cause!
You are such a caring person. I can feel the love that just flows from you to others.
I went to Stephanie's blog. Thanks for posting that.
You have sure been busy this summer.
May God continue to bless you in all that you do.
Thanks for your sweet comments and for always taking the time to read my posts. I know it takes a lot of time.
I thank God for you.
Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
