Me

 Hi Everyone!!!
It has been such a LONG time since I posted! I wanted to start by showing my family after two years have passed! You can scroll through the pictures and see how much we have all changed. If you look at the previous post, you will see that my two year old brother has done a lot of growing!! This year has just flown by for me and my family, and we are eagerly looking forward to the holidays. Next month Christmas, this week, Thanksgiving! Let's not forget the Christ in Christmas and the Thanks in Thanksgiving! It is so easy to let the important things slip in the midst of fun and food and presents! I have not yet blogged about some experiences that have allowed us to sell some bags and tell people about our ministry. One was a long time ago, but after my previous blog, an entrepreneur business day at a local church. I set up a Bags Of Hope table there 
and sold some bags. We also bought a nice banner to hang on the table.

I also sold bags at another event, the homeschool fair. The homeschool fair is a fun annual activity to show some artwork, handiwork, cooking and more! My dad and I set up a booth there and sold bags and kits. We are presently planning to do a table outside of Albertsons and maybe Trader Joes!          

Here are some verses about giving thanks:

Psalm 28:7 

The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

My brother Evan

1 Chronicles 16:34 

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 

give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

If you do not yet know what bags of hope are, please go back to previous posts and find out! You can bless the needy with these bags of encouragement and hope! Find another awesome way to bless the needy on my post 'The Season Of Giving.' Also, please check out our Christmas bags that we are selling this season!

My youngest sister Annie
and youngest brother Peter

Have a blessed thanksgiving!
Love,
Clara
