For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you , God, for all of your many blessings - I am filled with gratitude today and always!!

Our blog has a new home!!
Welcome to our new blog! I was so tired of paying a monthly fee when I couldn't even have a pretty banner!! Please update your blog lists...our typepad blog will not be active after November 27th. This one is still a work in progress (aren't they all??), so please excuse our mess while we "unpack" some of our older memories...it may take awhile since we are busy creating new ones!

Mason's 3rd Annual Christmas Project
A special message from Mason:
Can you believe Christmas is almost here? It's time for my 3rd Annual CHRISTMAS PROJECT and I am so excited! Last year, you helped me donate over 350 toys to children in need. This year, I received some special information from my school that I would like to share with you...there is a huge need for books in our area and I think we have what it takes to make a big difference! My sister and I are going to go through our books to get together the ones that we no longer read...won't you do the same?
My family and I will be collecting your new and gently used books all of November and the first two weeks in December. We will be donating them to three different organizations listed below. All of the books from "Mason's Project" will be donated to children in our immediate area - and we are going to make our delivery the week of December 15th. My daddy has made room in our garage for storage. Please feel free to bring your books at anytime! We can even pick them up for you!!
Your book donation will help the following local organizations:
OUR CHILDREN'S HOUSE - Books for younger children will go to this lecensed pediatric facility that provides complete and comprehensive care and services in a family-centered environment for children who need treatment for developmental or birth disorders, traumatic injury, or severe illness. This place holds a special place in my family's heart because they helped my sister, Grace, for the first year of her life. Visit http://www.baylorhealth.com/ and search Our Children's House for more information.
LISD SCHOOL AGE PARENT PROGRAM - This program provides pregnant and parenting teen mothers and fathers in the Lewisville Independent School District the support and resources needed to complete their high school education, re-examine their life goals and focus on the responsibilities of parenting and providing for their child. Your books will be placed the the program's "closet" where students go to get the items they need for their babies/children. For more information, visit www.lisd.net/sapp.
NELSON CHILDREN'S CENTER IN DENTON - Books for ages 6 through 15 will go to this special social services center that serves abused and neglected children. They are currently partnering with Faith Lutheran Day School to start a library for the children who live there. Visit http://www.nelsonchildrenscenter.org/ for more information.
If you have any questions, you can contact my mommy, Heather, at heathermabery@verizon.net. And please be sure to pass on the information about my Christmas Project to all of your friends...the more the MERRIER!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH LOTS OF LOVE,
MASON
