Goodness

We've been surrounded by so much goodness.  Our whole lives have been, in general, full of mostly gentle, happy times.  Take, for example, our wedding.
Good people, lots of them.  And a good time.

Currently, good may not be the best descriptor for our lives, but woven together with the not-so-good is really so much that is.

Take, for example, Beads for Batten.
Jeri Allie deserves credit for coordinating details that made our wedding live up to our dreams, and next Saturday, April 24th, she is hosting "Beads for Batten" in Gallipolis, Ohio (340 Second Ave, That Special Touch).  Beads will be sold for three dollars each, and will fit Pandora and Trollbead bracelets.  One hundred percent of proceeds from the sale, from 10am until 3pm, will be donated to BDSRA. 

We have been shown such good care, such good care that when we think about what a painful time it’s been, when we sift though the past year or so, we remember all of the good things, all of the loving words, all of the lavish generosity.  And, goodness, "thank you" just doesn't feel big enough...

Does the store have a website to shop from afar (Okay Columbus isn't that far, but I was just wondering)?

Sounds like I need a Pandora bracelet! What fun!

Online and over-the-phone orders aren't an option "this time", she says :)

But thank you is certainly enough.

Sometimes in the hardest of struggles and circumstances, our truest friends are revealed.
May you always feel the love and comfort of friendships.
Hugs and prayers,

I have wanted a Pandora and this is the push for me to get one! Jerri helped with my wedding too Jenni. Only 18 short years ago.
