Random Acts of Kindness--I NEED Your Help!
I'm at a crossroads. Standing on the beaten path. And suddenly I have this strong desire to do something wonderful.
But I need your help!
See, I've been writing about some pretty amazing things that have happened to me.
Why do these acts of kindness mean so much that I keep writing about them? Well in 2003, after my son died, Cade lost hope in humanity. He didn't take his pain out on God, or life, or hospital staff. He took it out on everyone, not wanting to trust a soul, guarding himself from strangers.
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.
