Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.Romans 12:1

SUPPORT MY FRIEND!!

Every day, thousands of babies are born too soon, too small, and often very sick. My sweet friends, Lance & Dana Raughton, experienced premature births twice and are very thankful for prayers, hospitals, doctors, and nurses. Landon will be 3 years old in June and Lang, 5 years old in August. So, they are very blessed to be able to celebrate their upcoming birthdays this summer! Unfortunately, there are many parents that aren’t celebrating their children’s birthdays due to complications or premature births, and the March of Dimes is a charity with a mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
Dana & Lance's Blessings!! (Lang & Landon)


I recieved this letter from Dana and hope that you will read it and support her...
"I’m asking for just 50 friends to send me $5 each to raise $250 for March of Dimes. We are walking 4 miles on May 7 to support March of Dimes, as a part of ‘Team Baby Nate’ (Nate was born almost 2 years ago, at 23 weeks to Bryant and Courtney Cloud of Auburn, AL and weighed just over a pound. Please pray for Bryant and Courtney over the next few weeks, as it’s such a hard time of year for them, as their angel is in heaven. If you want to know more about them, let me know and I’ll give you a link to their blog. Wonderful people.)
$5 doesn’t seem like much…will barely buy a gallon of gas but if we call could pitch in just a little, it could go a long way to helping prevent premature births. Our team goal is $5,000, and we are getting closer and only have one week to go for fundraising!
Please support our walk in Opelika, AL on Saturday, May 7 to help this cause. To make a donation, visit my personal Web page at http://www.marchforbabies.org/lanceanddanaraughton. ( All donations are tax deductible.)


Your gift will support March of Dimes research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. And it will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care. Lance and I were there twice, so we know what that is like and we are so grateful to God for 2 healthy, happy boys!"
Many thanks and Blessings!
