Today, I turn another year older. My digits change again. Yikes!
However, I've embraced this grace... this aging "thing".
It is a beautiful gift to celebrate another year of life and today I'm grateful to do just that.
In the spirit of celebration, I'd like to give one of you a gift.
I want to pour out, if only just a smidgen, some love to you.
SO...
I'm giving away a pair of TOMS shoes. All you need to do is leave a comment to be automatically entered {be sure to leave your email so I can contact you}.
I'll announce the random winner this Friday.
And get this, this is the kind of gift that keeps on giving...
With every pair of TOMS shoes that is purchased, they give a pair of new shoes to a child in need. How fabulous is that?
Really, you are doing me a favour on my birthday... You are giving me the gift to give and for that I am thankful.
Feeling overwhelmed in His saturated blessings, giving Him this life to bring Him glory... I celebrate!!!!
Now, go check it out by clicking here {and tell all your friends to come on by to enter, the more the merrier}!!!
** I am receiving no monetary benefit of any kind from TOMS shoes... I personally think they are a wonderful organization and wanted to bring awareness to it.**
