I live in Florida and I have trouble with mosquitos, how are they suspose to fight them?
Every summer our family stocks up on deet related products (don’t want to hear how deet is bad for you). We have sunscreen with mosquito fighting attributes, we have spray, and we even have mosquito replant clothing! You know why, because we can afford to get these items to keep us from contacting malaria!
But what about these children who don’t even have a chance to fight malaria? I RARELY do this on my blog, and it is only for this particular company that I would do so. If you can spare an extra $30 to help them during these wet summer times it could mean the matter of life or death for them. Even $10 would help one child purchase a net so they can sleep.
Look at these statistics:
Malaria kills 1 million people each year. Most who die of this treatable, preventable disease are children. A gift to Compassion’s Malaria Intervention Fund will help Compassion-assisted children and their families receive the resources they so desperately need to fight this deadly disease, including:
•mosquito nets to protect children from mosquito bites
•malaria prevention education
•access to malaria medical treatment for those struggling with the disease
A little goes a long way:
•$30 will provide three mosquito bed nets.
•$50 will provide five mosquito bed nets.
•$100 will provide 10 mosquito bed nets.
Please visit here and consider your one time donation. ONE TIME, not asking for lifetime commitment. IF you have any questions about the Compassion program, visit here to find out more.

Thankful Thursday…
Please visit my other two posts today, I almost did not put up my TT post because I don’t want the other ones buried. But I do have a lot to be thankful for.
Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. Gal 1:10 (NIV)
1. I am thankful for friends who check on me, send me cards in the mail, and friends who lend a helping hand when I need it. I am blessed.
2. I am thankful that there is only a month left of school. Thankful for the break, sad because they are getting older. Next year I will have three kids in three different schools (elementary, middle school, high school), that should be a challenge.
3. I am thankful for good books that teach me more about Christ. I am reading the book “The Seven Sayings of the Saviour on the Cross” by Arthur W Pink. The book has really opened my eyes.
4.

I have a son who needs to learns things the hard way. When he was little I told him the stove was hot, but he had to touch the stove to see for himself. When I told him not to eat something, he had to taste it for himself. CLICK HERE TO READ THE REST

Healing Promises Blog Tour….
Clint and Steven work for Crimes Against Children Unit. While saving a young child Clint is shot. This ends up being a blessing because hospital tests reveal he has cancer.
Clint attacks his cancer the same way he attacks life-head on. But his wife Sara’s world is rock. She is grateful the cancer was found but feels guilty because being an oncologist she should have seen the signs. Clint being the stubborn person he is still is working off hours to uncover the identity of a child serial killer before any other children are hurt.
This is Amy Wallace’s second book in her Defenders of Hope series (first one being Ransomed Dreams). This second book focuses on Clint and Sara’s journey in wondering if God is with them.
Beginning May 1st be sure to check out Christian Women Online’s Book Buzz. Amy will be visiting us and there will be a chance to win a gift pack (does the word Starbucks, chocolate, & reading entice you) .
Mark it on your calendar, but also visit some of the great sights below.
