Mother's Day Gift

***I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! I'VE BEEN TOLD THE PIC BELOW IS MISLEADING!!!***

Mother's Day is not too many weeks away! In an age when we all are accumulating more than we need, we are challenging ourselves to try to find gifts that are experiential, memory-building, and long- lasting, not just dust-collecting and floor-cluttering.

The Mother's Day idea is to give to a crisis pregnancy center in honor of your mom. What better way to celebrate motherhood than to promote the life of an unborn child and support those ladies in crisis?

thanks for the cameo, Joy!

Our small group at church is involved with the Hope Center, which conveniently has the Walk for Hope the weekend before Mother's Day. Last week, I challenged the women of our church to request donations towards the walk in lieu of any presents!

We did the same thing last year, and it also posed one of those great opportunities to discuss with Janie the concept of giving to others and why we were walking with hundreds of people on a Saturday morning.

I would love to encourage y'all to find a crisis pregnancy center to contribute towards this year. If any of you are in town and want to be a part of in the Walk for Hope as walker or sponsor, get in touch with me (or just click on the link above) and I'd love to help you get involved!
