Thankful Thursday

Today has been one of those rotten days where I'm thinking, "hmmm...what AM I thankful for???"

So, because the Word reminded that in EVERYTHING I am to give thanks, today I'm thankful for the Word.

Please keep praying...

Big Love,
Sarah

Quiet Time

Take a few minutes to just sit & listen. Enjoy the new slideshow.

The Shaffer household has had a bit of a rough week...any extra prayers thrown our direction are more than appreciated. :)

Birthday Wishes

Wow, March 3rd...can you believe it?! Absolutely insane.

Well, today I just wanna take a few minutes to give some birthday shout outs. Seems like this is a popular day...

So first to Mike (Victory, not Clopton)...a very happy birthday! Hope you and Kathleen are well and having some fair weather in Pasadena! :) Love you!!

Next to a dear friend who has become exceptionally special to our family, Jerry. We love you (even though you ARE another year older!) and hope to spend some time with you soon...either in KS or NC! :) Hope you've had a very fun day and special evening w/ Nikki. Thanks for your love and friendship.

LOL,

Sarah

It's Time.

Hey, everyone. I've warned you this would be coming...so, here it is. :)

Please join me in supporting a cause that is very close to my heart.

As you may be aware, our family has been deeply affected by autism. We are not alone. Autism is the fastest growing developmental disability, affecting 1 in every 150 children. For children with autism, it is extremely important that they receive the intensive, special services that they need to be successful. That's why I am participating in the 2010 Autism CARE Walk at Heartspring.

The CARE Program at Heartspring provides a wide range of services, from one on one consultation to opportunities for children with autism to learn and grow through participation in programs like Camp SSTAR and SSTAR Scouts. Through the CARE Walk, we raise awareness about autism and also raise funds to provide more services to children and families.

I would be honored if you would join me in supporting this great cause by sponsoring my walk this year. Donations of any amount will be gratefully accepted and are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. You can make a pledge to support my walk by visiting www.autismcarewalk.org, clicking on Make A Pledge and choosing my name fom the drop down list of participants. You can also mail your check made payable to Heartspring to me. To make sure that it is received in time for the walk, please mail checks by Marh 15 2010. If your employer has a matching gift program, you can even double your gift!

Thank you so much for your friendship and support. Thank you for helping me help Dominic. Together, we can make a difference in the life of a child with autism.

From the heart,

Sarah
