Sneak Peek . . . Kind and Brave Giveaway

“I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people know more... though I know that is the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born.” ~L.M. Montgomery

I recently wrote about how I should probably join overgivers anonymous.  But then, is there really such a thing as giving too much?  I have cleaned out my gift closet and made a sweet care package full of some of my favorite things.  I wanted to do it here on the blog in a way that would encourage some of the silent readers to say "hello" and share stories of someone kind or brave in their own lives.  I am ready to meet you all and know a little about why you keep reading here.  So many of you have blessed our family over and over these past years with gifts and prayer and encouragement.  I wish I could send a package to each of you! 

Here's a few pictures of just some of the goodies included in this giveaway.  The rules to enter are simple. 

1.  If you don't already, follow the blog by joining in the right sidebar as people praying for us.  You will need to have a google account to do this, but that is pretty simple to set up.  Let me know if you just can't figure it out.  Some people can't seem to comment either and this is probably because you do not have a google account. 

2.  Comment on THIS post your favorite verse or quote about courage or kindness. 

3.  Email me at mkayesnyder@gmail.com your nomination of someone in your life that has demonstrated bravery and/or kindness that has inspired you.  

4.  Optional but fun is to share this "Kind and Brave" giveaway by using the "share" function in the top right of the blog.  Pass this on to your friends and give them a chance to nominate YOU. 

Wouldn't you LOVE to have all this delivered as a surprise to your front door?  Tomorrow I will share more about some of the pieces, links to where you can find them and also a few more beauties that will be included like a stunning scarf and a pair of very special earrings.  In the meantime start your nominations!  They are private and with your permission the winning one will be posted on the blog and also printed beautifully to include with the package.  I will leave this open until a week from today, May 6th, and then announce the winner on Tuesday, May 7th and get the package shipped off to arrive in time for Mother's Day.  PS. Sharing with your hubby or children and having them enter for YOU isn't against the rules either. 

Kindness ALWAYS matters.  Courage ALWAYS wins.  Have a blessed Sunday.
