Summer Dress Giveaway

Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”” ~ Matthew 19:13-14 (ESV)

Okay, so I have never met little Gentry Rose (yet), but her story just touched my heart. Check out the blog her mom started for her…

One of Melody’s friends designs/manufactures little girl’s dresses. Granny B actually designed a dress for Gentry Rose. The cool thing about it? All sales from this dress go toward Gentry Roses’ therapy – isn’t that neat?

Since I don’t have a little girl, I thought I would give away a dress to one of my faithful readers. All you have to do is leave a comment and post about it on your blog. If you don’t have a blog, please tell your friends about the giveaway on either Facebook, Twitter or via email, so they can stop by to sign up for the giveaway. Please make sure that you leave a valid email address when you sign up in the comment section so I can contact you in case you are the winner 😉 .

The giveaway will run until next Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009.

Thank you for stopping by today. Have a super blessed Wednesday…

‘Silent Auction’ for a Good Cause

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
~ Psalm 18:2 (ESV)

Gentry Rose

My sweet friend Lori blogged about little Gentry Rose in this post. Gentry Rose has been on my mind over the past week. I was thinking about how I could use my God-given talent of photography to help others. Okay, so I am not a famous photographer (yet – 😉 ); I do hope that I can raise some money for little Gentry Rose. Please visit the family’s blog to have a little background why I am trying to help…

My part: I have the above photo printed (16 x 20) by the printing house I use for my portrait business. H&H Color Lab is a professional printer based in Missouri. I will pay for the print, the frame and shipping to the highest bidder…

Your part: The minimum bid for this one-of-a-kind print is $25. The silent auction will run from June 30th through July 7th. Please use my contact form to submit your bid (US & Canada only please). After the silent auction is over, I will direct the winner to Gentry Rose’s pay-pal account (in other words – I will not handle the donation).

Would you consider blogging about this silent auction so others can put in a bid for the print?

Why did I pick the sunflower shot? I really like sunflowers (I hope you do too). If you have ever driven through Arizona in the Summer — it is hot. But for one reason or another, sunflowers can be found by the road-side. In the deepest canyon you can find them raising their heads toward the sun. A marvelous sight – believe me…

Thank you for stopping by today and your consideration helping a little girl fighting autism…

Little Sunshine

I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
~ Psalm 18:1-3 (ESV)

Over the last week, little Gentry Rose has been on my mind. Please read Lori’s blog post about Gentry Rose. I kept thinking of how I can put my God-given talents of photography to good use…

I am not sure if this idea will work out, but I will give it a try. Later this week I will have a silent auction where you can get one of my latest landscape photographs as a print:
