Faith in Action by Nick Vujicic - MTL Magazine

Faith in Action - MTL Magazine

Faith in Action by Nick Vujicic / Unstoppable http://mtlmagazine.com/article/faith-in-action/

I have discovered time and again that when we ask for God’s help and then take action, knowing in our hearts that He is watching over us, there is no reason to be fearful. My parents taught me this, mostly in the way they lived each day. They are the greatest examples of faith in action I have witnessed.
Though I arrived on this earth missing, as my mother says, “a few bits and pieces,” I am blessed in many, many ways. My parents have always been there for me. They did not coddle me. They disciplined me when I needed it and gave me room to make my own mistakes. Most of all, they are wonderful role models.
I was their first child and definitely a surprise package. Despite doing all the usual maternity tests, my mother’s doctor detected no indication that I would come into the world with neither arms nor legs. My mother was an experienced nurse who had assisted in hundreds of deliveries, so she took every precaution during her pregnancy. Read more at above link.

Win a Christmas Book

Christmas Eve 1894
All Margaret Campbell wants for Christmas is a safe journey home. When her plans for a festive holiday with her family in Stirling crumble beneath the weight of her brother’s bitterness, the young schoolteacher wants nothing more than to return to the students she loves and the town house she calls home.
Then an unexpected detour places her in the path of Gordon Shaw, a handsome newspaperman from Glasgow, who struggles under a burden of remorse and shame.
When the secret of their shared history is revealed, will it leave them tangled in a knot of regret? Or might their past hold the threads that will bind their future together?
As warm as a woolen scarf on a cold winter’s eve, A Wreath of Snow by best-selling author Liz Curtis Higgs is a tender story of love and forgiveness, wrapped in a celebration of all things Scottish, all things Victorian, and, especially, all things Christmas.

Kindle Fire HD

Am tempted to get the Kindle Fire HD at Staples or Office Depot this week. I have been in the market for one, but have been looking for the right deal and I think this might be it. Price is listed at $200 with a $20 instant rebate store credit at time of purchase. If I buy the Kindle I get a 5X points with my Chase Ink card 1,000 points, great! Then with the $20 rebate I can hopefully get a gift card that I can use somewhere else or use it for craft supply's for my kids as stocking stuffers at Christmas.

$50 of Free Money

Today I picked up a $50 dollar bill on the side of the road. I went to look at a garage sale at a neighborhood across from mine and someone had a nice maple table in the driveway with a free sign on it. I grabbed it and sold in to a dealer I know for $50 within a few hours. Love free money!!!
