THANKS AND GIVING

11/22/12 "Give thanks with a grateful heart......"   And what does that look like? According to Marlo Thomas it looks like a donation to St. Jude. I have to agree with her.
Knowing the family of the child (Ingram) whose face graces the billboard in Times Square and in the Martha Stewart magazine along with knowing 5 yr. old Michael B. from Oak Grove, IL, who will return in a month for his quarterly scans, I see St. Jude as an AMAZING place. St. Jude doctors have been diligent in finding just the right meds for these two young men. Their families are ever so grateful for every extra day they have been given. Michael's mom and her sisters helped raise over $360,000 for St. Jude thru their "Dream A Little Dream Fashion Show" & Ingram's two young sisters (elementary age) have raised $200,000 since April in their "Conquer Cancer" campaign. 
If you looked around your Thanksgiving table today and were grateful for your kids or grandkids, how about choosing to give thanks by honoring all St. Jude's neuroblastoma patients, like these two, Super hero Michael (Batman) and Ingram the Conquerer with a donation.

Thank God for your blessings and then you can  click here to donate and thus give a blessing to others.
