#30RAK 6-10

2nd RAK Post 

This week has started a little wild, as in too much going on! 

I do however, get pretty pumped when doing these Random Acts of Kindness! 

For starters, we've blown our $30 budget, so forgive us and let's keep rolling . . .

If you don't know . . . I have a slight obsession with Honey Buns. I crave them more than I crave a lot of things. I love these massive sized ones, the ones that are really supposed to feed a family of four, but somehow I devour the entire bun . . . It happens, that's why I sleep on the treadmill. I pray they didn't waste the $1 on a silly rice krispie treat or lamesauce cheez-it's, that would just be awful. 

C also spent some dough fueling some cravings! He works on the go, so he's always in and out of convenient stores. He jumped at the opportunity to help a gal in need. What's pretty cool about this story, to me, is that he bought a drink for someone, but not just any drink . . . My favorite drink - Orange Crush!

C works a crazy schedule type of job. Sometimes he gets off on time, sometimes he gets off the next morning. He works with a great group of guys and we're blessed to call a lot of them our dear friends. So it's only natural when you make dinner, have left over desserts and make fresh brownies that you hide some for a guy working the overnight shift. 

Making dinner is part of my life, eating desserts is also something we love, so why not share the love? 

Oh, yes we had chili in May because it was 48 degrees when I made the chili, in May.

I'll let you in on a little secret. 

I love sweets. 

All kinds of sweets. 

So in the RAK I thought it would be great to spread my SWEET(s) love.

I got this crazy idea to bake cupcakes & drop them off at different places! 

We hand delivered the goods to these places:  

 Animal shelter - I love animals. Our precious Boomer came from an animal shelter & we're 100% animal shelter fans. (http://www.sunnymeadows.org/)

Fire Station   - we appreciate all Firefighters!

A homeless Shelter/Mission - My MIL works closely with this organization & we know they work wonders in the city of Memphis. (http://www.calvaryrescue.com/)

Cleaning Staff work - They do an amazing job and we just adore them!

I cannot describe the amount of love, support and gifts we received when we announced Baby M's arrival. Our home was flooded with visitors and everyone came bearing gifts. Literally, it felt like Christmas everyday, sometimes every hour. Baby M received more mail than we did for weeks, it was truly humbling and such a blessing to see the generosity flow through our great support team! 

So, when a friend told me her daughter was expecting, I knew it was time to part with the little baby clothes. It was time for Baby M to bless another baby. 

I could lie and tell you I didn't have a problem parting with the outfits,  but it was hard. It was hard to give someone the pooh sleeper she wore or the tiny onesies she wore her first few days home. It's a blessing to be able to give what was once given to us. I wonder how many babies will wear her pooh sleeper or how many babies will rock those onesies! 

Last, I am friends with someone I have never met. She's my friend on Facebook and we chat a bit about adoption. She's pretty rad and seems a little down these days. Sometimes it's easy to believe for a great support system, but in all actuality some people are quite the opposite. So Baby M also helped with #10's RAK. We just mailed her a card today. A little encouragement goes a long way!  

No matter what, remember you are given the greatest gift; life. It's true, you get one shot, unless you're a cat. I know people can try and get in your head, but always remember you are fearfully and wonderfully made, in his image. 

Alright Party Peeps, until next time!
