“In only 76 DAYS Cameron will be too old to be adopted.Cameron only has until 6-8-2014 until laws as such deem that he is too old to be adopted. Cameron is good at Chinese and Math. He’s pleasant kid with a great smile. His smile turns solemn when asked about a family. He wants a mother and father so badly.” Maybe we can find Cameron his family?

Love Idol: You are PreApproved

Read for the Weekend here on the Farm:

“If you, like so many of us, spend your time and energy trying to earn someone’s approval—at work, home, and church—all the while fearing that, at any moment, the facade will drop and everyone will see your hidden mess . . . then love may have become an idol in your life?

Love Idol will help you dismantle what’s separating you from true connection with God and rediscover the astonishing freedom of a life lived in authentic love.”  ~Join the Love Idol Movement.

[With printables for the scales, mirror, computer, fridge to cheer that you are PreApproved!]

What happens when a man’s good friend grows old? A testament to Senior dogs across America 

 ”I entered a world of grace

where bodies that had once expressed their vibrancy

were now on a more fragile path.”

“They are seven simple words we all take for granted. But as Joanne Milne, who is both deaf and blind, heard her doctor recite the days of the week, she was overwhelmed with emotion, fighting back tears and gasping to catch her breath.

Until that moment the 40-year-old’s world had always been completely silent.

“Hearing things for the first time is so emotional from the ping of a light switch to running water. I can’t stop crying… I’m so happy. Over the last 48 hours hearing someone laughing behind me, the birds twittering, and just being with friends…” It’s all a gift, isn’t it, not to be taken for granted? Listen to everything today like it’s the first time?

Know this and your heart will thank you

“I don’t know of any story in sports that is more emotionally uplifting than this one.”

The Kids were Here

What began as a global project to record kids’ messes –

found itself captivated by what is actually the stories kids leave behind.

The messes were really glorious stories. Perspective shift. An absolute must read.

Smitten with this; I could spend hours marvelling at the wonder of: The Kids were Here

What happens when two ordinary people with normal jobs, a normal home, a normal life –

say yes to God?

Post of the week from here … the epiphany that’s rocking my world: 

The Secret You Have to Know about You & that Thing You are Going Through

“Hey Soul?

Peace isn’t a place you have to find, or make, get to today.

Peace is a Person.

“Now may the Lord of Peace Himself give you His peace

at all times & in every situation.” 2Thess3:16

You can’t look in the mirror & think you’ve wrecked your life,

you can’t hold up any measuring stick & think you’ve botched it so bad, that you lose Peace,

that you can’t get Peace, that you can’t find Peace.

If you have Christ today – nothing can steal your peace today.”

[- excerpted from our morning devotions in our little Facebook community

where every morning we share a word like this to encourage each other & #PreachGospeltoOurselves... come join us?]

That’s all for this weekend, friends. 

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re - joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again
