But I need your help!
See, I've been writing about some pretty amazing things that have happened to me. 
But since The Golden Sky came out--the story of our son's life and death--Cade has seen the selfless generosity of many people. And I've watched Cade change. This means more to me than almost anything--that your kindness has helped Cade heal.
Well, last week it happened again--a miracle. An amazing person read my blog (this post to be exact: If you've ever read my blog, please read this post.) and decided to anonymously send Wayman Publishing an iPad Mini for the giveaway! Cade and I were initially funding this giveaway (trying to help Wayman's authors gain exposure and succeed) nonetheless stressed, wondering how we'd afford the prize. Then to get an iPad Mini in the mail. . . It was a tremendous answer to prayer. And after God didn't heal Zeke, I've often wondered if He hears my prayers at all. . . .
So, how could I possibly thank someone for this? How? Especially someone who wanted to remain anonymous. I think I've found a way.

I am facing a rather grim crossroads, but should I survive it, I will be glad to do your blogfest. May The Father stand by your sides in this, Roland
ReplyDeleteRoland,
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying for you. I hope all is well.

Yes Elisa, I'd love to. Please remind me. Is it one post or four posts? I'll re-read this later. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining :) For the blogfest, you can write something for any/all days, just make sure your main post is up on May 27th--that's the post I'll link to the blogfest :)
ReplyDeleteI will be happy to post it--IF YOU REMIND ME!!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the kind of topic I love. This will be my first bloghop. And I'm also keeping Roland in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteWell typically I consider it a random act of kindness when I remember to brake when people's I don't like step in front of car...but maybe that's a bad example. :)
ReplyDeleteCount me in. I'm sure I can think of something.
Awesome indeed and as said the cat will plug away at his feed, especially once the a to z is done and he has more freedom to tell everyone.
ReplyDeleteI will refer some friends who are kind to the link :).
ReplyDeleteYou shine with expectancy & joy. IJS.~Mary
I want to participate, but I don't do anything nice. It would destroy my reputation.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I'm more a do-er of RAOK... and I think the universe just repays me with good fortune. Kind of a Karma thing, you know? So can we post random acts that WE have done, or does it have to be ones that have been done to us?
ReplyDeleteJuli,
ReplyDeleteSure :) That would be great.
This is a great idea! I'm very glad the wonderful Janie psoted about it. I'll give it a Tweet right now. :)
ReplyDeleteI learned about this from Janie's blog. Wishing the best. Good work.
ReplyDeleteDear Elisa, I'm excited about the blogfest. You surely come up with such wonderfully generous and gracious ideas. You're a wonder! Peace.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! I'll do a post for it. I'm so happy to hear about the mini iPad, too! There are so many wonderful people out there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thought. I don't like blogfests, I don't like linkys, and all that, and I only do the A to Z every years, but this is so sweet, so caring, so loving that I will participate. I will have to figure out how to do it in May though, OK. I'll see if I can enter it now.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I will join the blogfest of kingmess through my blog jimmy kopelia
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to do it right now. I take there will be reminders in May?
ReplyDeleteI would love to participate but am in the middle of some other posts right this minute ... I need to set a reminder so I can come back and participate :-)
ReplyDeleteYes--I will! This fits perfectly with something I'm working on right now. thanks!
ReplyDeleteI signed up. This is a wonderful idea!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth...you are amazing! And what a wonderful thing Wayman is doing. I'm signing up but will have to schedule my post in advance...I'll be at that conference in Singapore on the 27th of May, speaking to parents about how they can use picture books and reading time with their kids to build self-esteem and strengthen the parent-child connection. :)
ReplyDeleteDo I link up announcing I am going to post on May 27th or do I wait and link up after i write my post?
ReplyDeleteDebbie,
ReplyDeleteIf you'd like to link up now, that'll be perfect. Thanks for being part of this :)
-Elisa
Hello Elizabeth ! I already have two posts written two months ago that would perfectly fit on your blogfest and plans on writing more about random acts of kindness both shared and received. Can I still join the blog hop though my post has already been viewed and read or does it have to be freshly written ? This is such a contagious thing to share and I hope this will be a yearly thing !
ReplyDeleteBlessings from a new follower from Pasay City, Philippines
Sarah,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely :) I'm looking forward to reading your posts :)
-Elisa
Count me in :)

ReplyDeleteCount Jess and me in on this one! We will write a post and do the rest of the items, too. We will post on Fairday's Blog.
ReplyDelete~Stephanie
What a beautiful gesture and a wonderful idea. I'm not only in, but will be spreading the word!
ReplyDeleteMy post will be up May 27th and I will be including the link for the giveaway!
Your kindness is inspiring, as is your story!
Thank you-
Beverly

That's great that your hosting this. That we will be sharing kindness that was given to others and that we got. And that it'll be showcased in an anthology. I'm posting all the days and I was wondering do they have to all be articles or can I do some poetry?
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Happy to be a part of this. Thanks to Pat Hatt for pointing me in your direction.
ReplyDeleteHaving been blessed by several random acts of kindness, I will be joining too. I found your blog hop on M. J. Joachim's blog.
ReplyDeleteSomehow, I didn't put my name on this blogfest. Why, I don't know!
ReplyDeleteMay I write about how acts of kindness have helped me AND how my own acts of kindness have helped others??
Let me know, ok?
That will be perfect :) Thanks, Susan.
ReplyDeleteHappy to be part of this great endeavor.
