Pure and undefiled religion before God the Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their misfortune and to keep oneself unstained by the world. James 1:27

Deal for you!

A Deal for You!

I have a fantastic, can't-miss deal for you! Here it is:

1. You don't have to cook Thursday night.
2. Instead, you get to have a delicious Italian meal.
3. By eating this delicious meal, you are helping premature babies.

Now tell me that's not a win-win-win situation!!

This Thursday, May 6th, Tortora's in Hampton Cove is hosting "Pizza, Pasta and Preemies" to benefit the Melissa George Neonatal Memorial Fund. Here's the really cool part: owner Joe Moore is donating 100% of the proceeds to Melissa's Fund!! Not 10, 20 or even 50%. He is giving Melissa's Fund every penny that is made that night! So, whatever you pay for your meal will go to help premature babies and their families in our NICU at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children.

I mean, you have to eat, right? Why not have dinner and give the money to a good cause?!

So bring your family and come on out Thursday night, 4-9 p.m. Tortora's is located behind the Publix Shopping Center on Old Highway 431. It's very kid-friendly and the food is delicious!

And did I mention 100% is going to the NICU?!

We'll see you there!

p.s. Please email this to any friends and family who might be interested. And if any of you feel led to post it on your blog, please do!

Wordless Wednesday turns to Whiny Wednesday

Well.. I was just going to post these pics but there is something really bugging me lately!!! Has been for a while but it is just getting old!!! It really bothers me that when I reach a milestone or accomplish something in my life that people who are suppose to be "friends" never even say Congrats or way to go!!! Seriously?? You could do it too if you try! It hasn't been easy for sure and it just hurts that people seem to not care!!  Then there are a few who act like I should not accomplish something because they haven't!!!  Or why do people get jealous because I had my kids pics made somewhere nice!! Would it make you feel better if I told you we did not pay for it?? Sorry if I am stepping on toes but it is SO true!! Also just other little stuff just makes me stop and think... I wish I could see people for the inside out!! You k now.. What are they really thinking about me?? Why do people seem so hurtful and jealous??  I expect this from some people but the people I am getting this from lately I never thought I would!!!
 
Why do people say stuff about the way a person acts then they do it to you???
 
I am not talking about anyone in particular but there are a few people in my life right now that act this way!!!  I do not even know if they can view my blog!!!
 
 
Ok enough about all of that....
 
I hope EVERYONE has a blessed week:) God Bless!!!!

Happy Menu Monday!:)

Happy Monday EVERYONE!!! 
We went to church yesterday! It had been a while. The sermon was a GREAT one! It was what I needed to hear! It was talking about how we act as Christians and would we want someone to follow in our steps as a Christian! 

This bible verse really jumped out at me!!!-

Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in faith and in purity! 1 Timothy 4:12


 

Our menu for this week is:

MONDAY- Game- Turkey Spaghetti over whole grain noodles, green beans and pineapple

TUESDAY- Gymnastic Day- Crockpot chicken stew with peaches

WEDNESDAY-Grilled smoked sausage, whole grain mac and cheese, peas and oranges

THURSDAY-  Grocery store and aerobics class- Lemon pepper chicken, corn on the cob and brocoli, and fruit salad

FRIDAY- Turkey burgers, grilled potatoes and strawberries
SATURDAY- Not sure yet something fast. We have a game at 11:30

SUNDAY-Crockpot roast, carrots, potatoes, lima beans and watermelon

I hope everyone has a BLESSED week:)
