Happy February Everyone!
What does February mean to you? Ground hog's Day, Valentines Day, Patti's big Pure Love giveaway, President's Day... wait a minute. Patti's big Pure Love giveaway? What's that all about? I'll tell you!
See those three adorable little faces above? They belong to Kareen, Olga, and Peter. Patti from A Perfect Lily is hosting a major giveaway to raise money for these three special children.
People have been donating items for the giveaway left and right. It's going to be really amazing. Patti's is aiming to get Peter a full grant. That's over 20,000 dollars!
Already, people are showing there love for these children. Yesterday, before the giveaway even began, a woman named Sara donated 1,000 dollars to Peter! Isn't that miraculous? It's merely the first day out of ten and already (as of 5:00 pm) Peter has $4,445 towards his adoption! That's roughly triple what he had the majority of last month!
In return for people generous donations (you only have to donate $10 to enter) Patti is giving away loads of wonderful prizes:
- A brand new iPad with accessories
- Nikon D90 digital Camera
- 14 carat diamond earrings
- Lia Sophia bracelet
- Lia Sophia necklace
- Happy Hooks Crochet Etsy shop designer baby hat
- $35 gift card to Etsy shop Lil' Sis Designs
- itty bitty icing Etsy shop designer baby headbands
- Tutu, onesie, and matching headband made by Elissa from Sound's Like Life To Me (see the Fabulous Blogs I Follow sidebar!)
- (3) $10 Starbucks gift card donated by Katy from Diary of a Zookeeper
- A tote bag and mother daughter aprons donated by Cassie from The Crazy Eight
Patti is playing a huge loving part in this giveaway, but in the end, its God's Pure Love giveaway. Patti has had the compassion and diligence to follow through and never stop advocating, and it's God who has granted Patti her biggest hopes and dreams in saving these children. It's God who has gotten so many people involved in advocating (might as well make this the word of the day!) for Peter, Kareen, and Olga. Patti's purpose is clear: she is the wonderful messenger God is using to carry out some of His most important work with Reece's Rainbow. Without beautiful Patti and her beautiful Lily, where would Olga, Kareen, and Peter be right now? I'm starting to cry. I can't thank you enough Patti, for the true "surrogate" Mama you have been for these children. They are so blessed to have you on their side. Thank you. I have all the faith in the world that we can work together to get Kareen and Olga (SHE HAS A FAMILY!) home sooner, and Peter a full grant. It's a big order, that's for sure, but nothing is to big for God.
Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares about you. - 1 Peter 5:7
We've got to get these children home. It's been long enough. If God has previously raised $12,000 for Olga through Patti's advocating, I just know he has something even bigger in store for this giveaway.
"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so..." (I know you all know what song this line is from... hint hint: its in bold!)
He loves Kareen. He loves Olga. He loves Peter. He will not let then die. He has big things in store for these three children, and nothing puts a stop to God's plans. Donate, pray, and ask for a work to be done in Peter's future family's heart so that he can get adopted really soon, along with Olga and Kareen!
I'll keep you updated, but be sure to read Patti's heartfelt post about the giveaway, and check her blog frequently as well.
