“Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure…than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” ~C.S.Lewis

“If my attitude be one of fear, not faith, about one who has disappointed me; if I say, “Just what I expected,” if a fall occurs, then I know nothing of Calvary love.” ~ Amy Carmichael

Thank you Michah for sharing your birthday for the kiddos! Does anyone else want to give up their June birthday to help the children in India?! If you decide to join me in this venture you can ask your friends and family to donate the amount that matches your age for your birthday as their gift. So if you want to join me would you leave a comment below? It’s been so fun to see the total go up and know that the sweet darlings in India are being helped! Lives are being changed by you being willing to do something about their situation so thank you!

(Why this pic? Well it has some very special memories associated with it and it was for my 21st birthday. And maybe it’s a teaser for a future post? And REALLY because posts with pictures are just better!)

I am thrilled that you reached your goal! Now for 80K! Hooray!!! This is so wonderful!! You can do it girl! I am so proud of you and all those who joined in and contributed! I love love love Amy Carmichael SO MUCH, so I adore that you put up that quote, because I have read the book IF in which it came from!!! I also read her “Lotus Buds” and loved it. Granted, she did start orphanages in India, so you totally understand her love for “your kids”.
