Update on the Moms and Their Work

Jacque — Fri, 04 May 2012 19:51:48 +0000

Just an update.
All of the moms on GTH are working hard to provide for their families. It isn’t enough, though. Two have sewing businesses, one of them drives a school bus, and another mom has a cleaning business and was working in an office for a friend. They are doing what they can and keeping their children home to educate them.

Recently, Karen’s dad had surgery and complications, and she has been taking care of him at his place for over a month. She is in need right now, because this time of caring for her dad, away from her home and round the clock, has taken from her time in her sewing shoppe. She had just found a new place, her rent was more, and she can’t be there to live or to take care of it or to work for the rent. She is still looking for a job that will allow her to be at home most of the time with her children.

If you have time and money to give, will you consider it? When you think of them, will you please send a prayer and blessings their way?

Also, can you please Share this on your social networks or on your blog or website? It is such a small thing to do!

Thank you!

Recycled ~ Upcycled Tshirt Dress Tutorial

Jacque — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 22:35:22 +0000

Here is a link to a cute tutorial to remake a shirt into a dress by adding a skirt to it: T-Shirt Dress How-To…

Recycling things – also now called upcycling, is a great way to save some money and create things you need out of things you or others no longer do. I think this is neat, because you can take something you already like and create a new wardrobe with it.

I haven’t been able to do it yet, but I have some little girl shirts just achin’ to become dresses, I am sure! It seems simple enough to do if you are handy with a sewing machine, and have some fabric and a few shirts to us, and if you sew your own clothes, this seems to be a neat way to recycle-upcycle a favourite shirt.

Check it out and let me know what you think and how it turns out for you if you make one for your little girl.

New Donation Widgets Available

Jacque — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 13:31:25 +0000

Be sure to stop by the site and check out the new widgets posted in the sidebar. We have five families at this time and a couple more who are hoping to be able to get on soon.

It is easy to give if you have a paypal account. Just click the button and sign in and set the amount to give.

If you don’t have a paypal acct. and you want to give, send us an email, and we can see what other options you may have to give to the families. At any rate, please consider blessing one of the families today. They are all trusting in the Father to provide, but doing without and managing what they can and can’t have that they really do need anyway. It is their normal life, but it doesn’t have to be.

Give to them today, even if it is just a couple of bucks. And most of all, pray for them. They are great moms who are trying to be all they can to their children without dads. They need our prayers and our encouragement.

Be blessed today in all that you do!
