"To me Jesus is the Life I want to live, the Light I want to reflect, the Way to the Father, the Love I want to express, the JOY I want to share, the Peace I want to sow around me. Jesus is my everything." ~ Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta
In preparation for Christ’s coming, Christmas, we are finding ways to give what we have been blessed with. However, at this time, we are unable to purchase goods for those in need. We are able to give from what we have. We were blessed to be able to purchase a nice stock of tile necklace supplies last year.
We long to help those in real need. So when we heard of Water 4 Christmas from Meg, we knew it was an answer to our prayers. Water for Christmas is a grass roots movement bringing both awareness and real "on the ground" change to Africa’s water crisis.
We are people…Moms, Dads, Sons, Daughters. United by the desire to keep our eyes and hearts open. To increasingly live for things bigger than ourselves. So, we’re going to give up something. Big somethings. Little somethings. Going without so the people in Liberian villages can have access to clean water…the Moms, Dads, Sons, Daughters.
All money donated there goes directly to charity: water who in turn uses 100% of their donations to drill for fresh water.
Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 100% of the money goes to direct project costs. With the help of exemplary organizations on the ground and individuals here, we can drill wells and provide people with this basic, essential need.

All orders made this week are guaranteed to be delivered by Christmas.
Give a gift for Jesus!

O LADY OF GOOD REMEDY, source of unfailing help, grant that we may draw from thy treasury of graces in our time of need. Touch the hearts of sinners, that they may seek reconciliation and forgiveness. Bring comfort to the afflicted and the lonely; help the poor and the hopeless; aid the sick and the suffering. May they be healed in body and strengthened in spirit to endure their sufferings with patient resignation and Christian fortitude.
Rose and I signed up to support the May Mary Giveaway at CatholicMom.com. Our delivery of the Marian tile necklace has taken some time since our arms have been full of JOY – with Baby G.
