Raise Love

Wow! It has been a very long time since I have blogged. Life has been busy! I love blogging, but I love my family more:) and since I'm not good at organizing my time, blogging has not happened.
Anyhow, since I blogged last, I've been to Guatemala on a mission trip! An experience I am sooo thankful for. That will be a whole post in itself. My eyes were opened to a lot because of that trip. I've never thought of myself as being wealthy, always thought of myself as being generous. But, after seeing so many people in need, actually in NEED, it was overwhelming. I didn't know how to handle it, I felt like no matter what I did it wouldn't be enough. But, that is so not true, a lie from Satan. God has called me, all of us, to reach out to others. We don't have to be rich to do this. All we need is love, which God freely gives. I have not been generous at all with the love God has given me. But, I am changing that!

My family is staring a new "project" so to speak. It's called, Raise Love. We will be working on crafts to sell so we can raise money to go to the missions that we participate in. Some of our missions are Compassion, trips to Guatemala, and needs that we see in our community. We are so excited about this! It's going to be a great way for the kids to be involved and spread awareness to others. Awareness of God's love! Love so amazing, so complete, so perfect!

Anyone have any ideas of fun crafts, projects, or items to sell? How do you help your children have a heart for missions?
