Urgent Need (Sonnet)

They came into the office all smiles and very excited to be on their "mission."  Little girls, ages 4 and 6. They were unimaginably darling.  Their mom, a Breath of Life volunteer, ushered them over to Sonnet's desk where they giggled with excitement about what they were about to get to do.  Their mom began to tell Sonnet how her daughters had approached her with all of their saved pennies and coins that they had been saving for months.  She was caught quite off guard with the next question her little ones had: "Mommy, can we give all of my money to Breath of Life to help the babies?"  With great gratitude for her children's amazingly generous hearts, she answered "Of course you can."

Together they traveled to the bank and spent the next half hour pouring all of her months of saving into the machine that would total up their efforts. Quite surprised at the amount, they were excited and anxious to get to the BOL office to present the offering.

So, as they approached Sonnet's desk and their sweet mother had relayed the story, they then presented Sonnet with a check for $278. Two hundred and seventy-eight dollars. Very decidedly one of the sweetest and most precious gifts we have ever received here at Breath of Life.  For the giving which comes straight from a pure heart is most assuredly the truest and most treasured gift of all.

What about the Dads? (chiefgopher)
posted Wed June 23rd 2010 @ 9:45 PM

I remember it like it was yesterday.  It was a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon.  After church we drove over to the campus of the local university and went to a car show.  But it was different than any other Sunday had ever been for my husband, for in his arms was our six month old son, Travis.  He had on a little, white, sun hat to protect him from the bright rays as we wandered from car to car.  I tried hard to act interested in the various makes and models.  But my heart was honestly focused on something far greater.  It was caught up with the lump in  my throat at watching my husband celebrate his very first Father's Day as a daddy. And the gentleness combined with the obvious love he had for this little new "man" in our life was more than evident.

So this past Father's Day was for many of the amazing dads with which we have been honored to work over this past year.  See if you don't see that same gentleness,pride and love in their expressions in these photos.  We think you will.  And to those fathers who have shared their lives and journey with us over the past year, may you be richly blessed by both our Father in Heaven and the little ones who have come into your lives.  Happy First Father's Day.

Ok. I got a new "gadget" for Christmas. And I LOVE it! (Thank you Brian).  I am able to record our gals and little ones and upload it instantly for you to be able to share in all of these amazing moments I keep telling you about.  (It's called a FLIP).  I have wanted for so long for you to be able to see more than just my writings and to be able to bring you "up close and personal" to the heart of this ministry.  Can you tell I'm excited about this??? :-) 

Our first testimony to share with you today is from Rebecca.  She is one of our 2009 Blessings who is simply a joy with whom to work and to love.  She shares her story here with you and gives us a chance to see the powerful way God is healing and loving our precious women.  Enjoy! Untitled
