Esther’s Cross fundraiser has ended. What an AMAZING experience this has been. My sweet friend Lynde Griggs is the owner of Cross Wired an amazing home business making beautiful wire crosses of all sizes for all occasions. I have purchased her crosses for teacher gifts and wedding gifts and my daughter’s have both been given crosses by Lynde as gifts. She messaged me one day and said she wanted to make a special edition valentine cross in honor of Esther and she would donate 100% of the sales to our adoption fund. Humbled, once again, I just said yes and cried. I set up a blog and she advertised on facebook and at work and our $500 goal quickly jumped up to $740 and it may be still climbing. God’s hand has been in this from the beginning. These crosses have reunited people, given others the opportunity to participate in our journey, and given some the ability to be obedient to the Lord. The crosses are literally traveling all around the world - from McKinney, TX to Italy and many, many states in between. The power of this sweet cross will forever be ingrained in my mind as we move forward in our adoption. I can’t wait for the day I get to share the story of Lynde and Cross Wired and this special Valentine’s cross with our little Esther!
We will continue to raise funds through t-shirt sales and coffee sales and individual donations to offset the cost of our travel and the misc. expenses. We are so blessed that so many are coming alongside us in this journey.
Ruth 1:8
... May the Lord reward you for your kindness ...
