I am grateful to be alive, up and active today!
I say that because for about 60 seconds on Saturday I seriously wondered if that would be the case. I was on about mile 4 of a 6 mile hike with Tommy carry 10 pounds of weight in my backpack. I had not prepared well this week and it was showing in the exhaustion I was feeling. I saw the root, lifted my foot and got caught. I saw my body being propelled towards the edge of the mountain we were climbing and felt it being pushed in towards the trail.
Angels protected me and by some miracle I came away with barely a scratch, and just small bruises. I was in pain, though, and grateful Tommy soon took my 10 lb. pack.
I was reminded of a couple of things. First and foremost, I need to prepare better for my adventures so I'm not so tired. Second, that to create miracles I need to ask for and receive help from others (even angels).
I was pondering that this morning as I did my personal devotion. My intention in reading was to devise a better plan for creating a miracle. This miracle has to do with my hike, but is different. You see I'm hiking each Saturday this spring in preparation for a 24 mile hike on May 31st to raise awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Tommy and I are $4000 from our fundraising goal.
While we are ever so grateful for the MANY people who have contributed $10, $50 and $100 to our stash we will need many more to complete this task! http://bit.ly/1o11BRE
We started this project to raise enough money to pay for one wish to be granted. The stories of how these wish granting projects create miraculous changes for the kids they bless who are fighting long-term illnesses are amazing. (They aren't all to Disney World either, I've learned of some creative wishes being granted like baby-grand pianos purchased, shopping sprees for little ones, tickets to music concerts and more).
If you will unite with us in this work we know it can be accomplished.
As we receive your help we know you will be blessed 100 times what you give.
In doing this challenge we have heard of great people banding together to collect funds from their friends or work-place. We have been grateful to hear of some who contributed $400-$500 from one person. Whether you can give $5 or help collect $500 we will willingly receive your help.
We can do the hiking, we can spread the word but to make this miracle work we must receive your donations and assistance! Click here to donate http://bit.ly/1o11BRE
