Spreading thanks! The Power of a simple gift.

I feel so grateful and fortunate to have peace and health in my everyday life.
We take the simplest of things for granted some days.
November is a big blogging month and a great month to focus on being thankful for all of the blessings in my life.
This is one way my family is hoping to spread the warmth and thanks we have in our hearts.
Samaritans Purse, Operation Christmas Child is an international Christian relief effort and development organization.  It communicates a simple message of LOVE and kindness and the funds offer opportunities to developing nations.
It is not about religion.  
It is not about pointing fingers at countries for not having the opportunities our children have.
It is about giving during a season of Peace and Harmony
I like everything about that.



It is simple... fill a shoe box with unique, fun items and spread thanks and cheer. 
Almost like a HUG in a box!
With a small donation of $7 (used mostly for shipping) and a few toys and items, we can create big smiles for little folks.
As we approach the season of FESTIVUS it is important to me to share.  
I want to teach and show my little what the true meaning of giving is about.
And that it feels so wonderful.
We all give in different ways.
We can't donate to everything.
This is true.  I get that.

Consider Samaritans Purse if you wish, the goal is to reach 100 MILLION shoeboxes!

Operation Christmas Child National Collection Week is NOVEMBER 19 - 25, 2012!
(We picked up our shoebox at the Superstore).
Our boxes are starting to fill up.
Considering two more.

True love!

Some kids have an attachment to soothers.
Some teddy bears.
Some blankets, lovies or a cute snuggly toy.
Ours....
TANKIE! And this is a serious love affair!
Tankie is an old tank top of Mumma's just for the record. Target brand to be exact.

We can't change our mini and make him love something more because it makes sense to me.
I'm just so happy he has found true love.  It is remarkable the bond Andrew has with this soft piece of material. If life would be so simple for all of us it would be a happy world wouldn't you agree?


TANKIE is always within reach.
Tankie goes to the mall.
Tim Hortons.
Fernie.
Phoenix.
And everywhere in between.
He takes chariot rides.
Goes for walks.
And has even landed himself in the shower?
The thought of leaving Tankie home never crosses our mind.
It isn't pretty.
We are fast learners!

What can you do?
LOVE IS LOVE!


Not far behind is George.
A stuffy my friend Lisa found at a garage sale a few years back (thanks Lisa, knew it would come in handy some day).
George is a close second best.  But don't dare try to dress up George in Tankie.  Consider that a WARNING!



George is sometimes left in the dust


But he always finds his way back home...


I hope your weekend is full of LOVE!
Peace.
