Foster Puppies!: Toy Drive

We just finished organizing the gifts for our toy drive. My back is aching! But I am so happy with how many gifts everyone donated. After reading the scary news everyday, it is good to see that there are still good, loving, generous people in the world.

I really loved the wonderful gifts people sent for the moms, too. There are pajamas, throws, vests, blankets, towels and bath sets. I would love any of it, so I know the moms will be happy with them.

This is our first year for the toy drive, and we only had one month to prepare, so we are pleased that it turned out so well. Next year, hopefully, we will have the time to get gifts specifically for each family.

Inspiration

“Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.” -Rich Mullins

"If all misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own and depart." - Socrates

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." - Helen Keller

"Much of the beauty that arises in art comes from the struggle an artist wages with his limited medium.” - Henri Matisse

"What works good is better than what looks good, because what works good lasts." - Ray Eames

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-21

"Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it’ll spend its whole life believing that it is stupid.” – Albert Einstein

" I am not afraid... I was born to do this." - Joan of Arc

"People new to Ivey's world see a puzzle missing pieces. But, I am convinced, unwillingly convinced, Ivey is WHOLE. She is all of the things we all should be, minus the things that really are unimportant." - Gwen Sirmans
