Dressember Day #7--It's Not About The Dress!


It's about dignity for all women and children.  One hundred percent of all of the proceeds raised by Dressember go to International Justice Mission.  I've read about their work...it's good, it's honorable, it's changing many lives for the better.  You can read about them here:
On another note-why is my hair so big today??

It's just the 6th day (dress) of December, and many thousands have been raised to rescue women and children-all by spreading awareness in a dress. Be a light!

How Can wearing a dress every day in December change the world?

https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/fundraise?fcid=576609

This is why I'll be wearing a dress every day in December-  I'm thankful for all of the beautiful women in my life. I'm thankful that we've had opportunities that some can only dream of having. I'm thankful that through everyday advocacy I can help a woman in unbearable circumstances find freedom. Please support Dressember by donating here to help stop human trafficking, and please share!

House Blessing

One of my children recently bought a new house.  I was trying to think of a good "house blessing" for him and his family. In my search, I found two that I am going to use.  The first one is from 2 Samuel 7:29.




New Living Translation
And now, may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that I may continue forever before you.  For you have spoken, and when you grant a blessing to your servant, O Sovereign LORD, it is an eternal blessing!





The second is a traditional house blessing, but I think the only time I've seen it is on one of my favorite movies, It's a Wonderful Life.  It will be accompanied by the items mentioned.


Bread - May this house never know hunger.


Salt - That life may always have flavor.


Wine - That joy and prosperity may reign here forever.

I hope you're blessed today!
