Yesterday morning was a bit rough with my sweet middle boy. He was overly tired which made him angry and unkind words were spoken from his mouth. But he is a loving boy and a loved boy. And even though this was the hardest morning he has had in a very long time, it is a good day and we are rejoicing at the Craighead home.
On Sunday, we had our first adoption fundraiser to help bring our daughter home from Ethiopia. We decided to do a corn hole tournament which also included a BBQ and Bake Sale. The fundraiser was a success and we are just overwhelmed with the amount of support we have received from our friends and family! God is good! We weren’t sure if this was going to be a great idea for a fundraiser but it seems that a wonderful time was had by all. And now we are selling corn hole boards, also to help fundraise. We already have a list of orders and most of the boards we made for the tournament sold as well, yay!
We could not have done it with out our family, who were a huge help! They came early and helped set-up. They made sure food was ready to go, baked goods were replenished and donation jars were emptied. They brought over their mini-horse and mini-donkey for the kiddos to dress up. Our friends made the yummiest baked goods and provided side dishes for our BBQ. Even though I had my normal anxiety, worrying that everyone was “good” and didn’t need anything, that they knew where to get a drink or find the bathroom, I was repeatedly reassured that everything was great. I am so, so, thankful. Best of all, they came, people showed up once again - in all different ways - just as they always do.
We are praising God today (and every day) for His answer to prayer regarding our fundraiser! And we are praying for a good night’s sleep and better mornings to come.
