To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake Auguries of Innocence
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all OK
And not to worry 'cause worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these
I won't be made useless
I won't be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small I know
But they're not yours,
they are my own
But they're not yours,
they are my own
My name is Jenn and I'm so glad that you have taken a minute to read my blog. I'm a mom of three kids, Rebecca (13), Annie (11) and Nicholas (9). Annie and Nicholas have Type 1 diabetes which plays a big role in our family life. I also work full time as an attorney. My husband of 18 years is a stay-at-home dad, CEO of our household, chef, golfer and many other things. As you can see, I'm addicted to digital scrapping and this blog will primarily highlight my designers and my work. I do plan to include some of my family life from time to time, however.
Please keep this child in your prayers. He's only four and needs a forever family!
Prayers for Carrington
Children Waiting for Families
Meet just a few of the millions of children worldwide waiting for someone to love them.
These children have HIV but are otherwise growing well and developing beautifully. Please click on a picture to find out more about each child. The United States now permits children with HIV to be brought into the country, and there are many resources available to help if you are interested in any of these or other thousands of orphans worldwide with HIV.
There are children all over the world in need of a family, love, and basic care. Many of these children have disabilities and are placed in mental institutions at the age of 4 or 5. In these places the children rarely live past the age of 10 and most die within the first year. Will you help to spread the word to raise funds and families for orphans with disabilities? Please visit Reece's Rainbow which advocates for orphans with down syndrome as well as other disabilities and see how your donation- however large or small- can help a child find a family. Look a little harder and you just might find the calling for one of them to be your own.
JDRF
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with type 1 diabetes have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump - each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its eventual and devastating complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
