Sewing Party Day!

TWENTY moms and daughters
gathered together to sew little dresses
for the children of
Acres of Hope Orphanage.

We met at the Boyd's home.
This family most definitely has the gift of hospitality.

Some ironed...

some cut...

some pinned...

some sewed...

(most of the daughters pictured)
ALL gave!

We were able to get 32 dresses done and
we plan on meeting another day to make shorts for the little boys.

Not pictured are all of the boys and little ones
that stayed behind the scenes so we could get our 'work' done.
THANK YOU Stephen, Michael, and Tucker!!!

Orphanage Donations

I've had a few people ask me of how they can help with our sewing party. I'd like to have everything together by the end of this month to go to Liberia with my friend that is traveling there hopefully in September.

Ways you can help:

Pray for the children and that relationship with the government be cooperative.

Donate:
Simple, lightweight, easy to care for sun dresses, shorts and T-shirts (for boys and girls)

OR

(suggestions from the orphanage)
-Tylenol, liquid and tablets
-Infant and children's vitamins
-Pedialite packets (little individual serving pouches you add to water).
We need a LOT of these to help battle dehydration caused by malaria and diarrhea.
-Cloth diapers
-Crib sheets
-Twin sheets
-Bottle nipples stages 1 to 3
-2 or more collapsible infant seats
-Infant and children's clothes, size preemie to 8. Boy and girl items
needed. Sun dresses preferred for girls, shorts and T's for boys (plus
socks and underwear for both).
-All items needed for size 2 and under (in special need of socks now
due to the rainy season.)
-We do use pajamas as well and it would be nice to have more sets.

You can mail these to me by the end of the August.

Sewing Party!

We are having a SEWING PARTY to make sun dresses and shorts for an orphanage in Liberia that a friend of ours is adopting from. Today I am trying to get the patterns cut out and make a few examples. I plan on having it set up as an assembly line so we should be able to get quite a bit done! Right now I have about 20 moms and daughters signed up to help...should be LOTS of fun! Not only will we be able to help the orphans as God commands us to, but we'll be brushing up on sewing skills with our daughters!

My friend Robin posted some pictures of the area that her new little one, JT, will be coming from on her blog. When you start feeling sorry for yourself and think of how you are struggling, look at those pictures and then you will realize just how RICH you are! And the reason our country is so RICH in everything is because of God leading and blessings our forefathers who were willing to be bold and obedient to the Lord, no matter what the cost. So many gave their blood and life for this country and now their descendants sit back and enjoy the rewards. They are ignorant of the Truth (spiritually and historically), and what is worse they don't want the knowledge, because then they too would have to be responsible. Most Americans are complacent and only pursue material gain and comfort at all cost.

I best stop now before I get on too big of a rant. May God shake this country from it's slumber and raise up Godly men and women to restore us to our foundation!
