I am so thankful for my loving family and friends. We live in a farming community and we all have "tighten our belts" lately -- so a grocery card would come in handy now.

So I'm thankful that we're a family again :)<BR/><BR/>As for the 2nd card - I have a friend from church whose husband left her with 5 kids - the youngest isn't even 2 - for our music minister's wife. She's been a full time mom since she got pregnant at 17, and he's not paying her a dime right now. So this would be fantastic for helping her get some food for the kids. <BR/><BR/>Thanks BM - you're the best!Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08970814032355149311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560158830671888638.post-26010464541316736092008-10-31T08:40:00.000-05:002008-10-31T08:40:00.000-05:00What a great giveaway!

She is facing cancer for the third time, and I know she will win for a third time! <BR/><BR/>If I win, I would give the extra gift card to a friend of my husband. His wife just left him high and dry with three little girls, and it breaks my heart. This would be a wonderful blessing to him!Erin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07686443938324656578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560158830671888638.post-51899030822348270052008-10-31T07:12:00.000-05:002008-10-31T07:12:00.000-05:00Hey there, BM, I totally forgot to enter this give...Hey there, BM, I totally forgot to enter this giveaway! Well, here you go...<BR/><BR/>I have a LOT to be thankful for...my children and my husband come first to mind. I am thankful that God has given me the strength to handle all of the things, big and little, that have come my way. I'm thankful that we have income, that we have a roof over our head, and that we have good food on the table every night. I'm thankful for my family and friends that are always there to help out when we need it. I'm thankful for the free market, the freedoms we enjoy, the military who preserve those freedoms. So much more, but this is getting long!<BR/><BR/>I have a job (I work from home), and we recently had to let someone go because of financial constraints. She is a single mother of a little boy, and I would give the card to her. In our industry, we're really taking a hit...lots of layoffs, and I don't know where she's going to find another job. I really feel for her. So she'd get the extra card.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for offering this giveaway, and I sure hope mr. random picks me!!!<BR/><BR/>dkkwhcs at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560158830671888638.post-49699927720120296742008-10-30T21:37:00.000-05:002008-10-30T21:37:00.000-05:00You're awesome, Mimi... definitely I desire to be ...You're awesome, Mimi... definitely I desire to be more like you.<BR/><BR/>I am so thankful... for so many things, it's overwhelming.

Even after the week of cleaning up throw up, I am still grateful for my life. I would love to give a gift certificate to my friend she is a single mom. She has to save every penny, and eats ramen and mac and cheese because that is all she can afford. She really deserves a break in life.Leavitt'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07676103564710420546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5560158830671888638.post-69091866267175968572008-10-30T09:42:00.000-05:002008-10-30T09:42:00.000-05:00Great idea!I'm thankful for all of the important s...Great idea!<BR/><BR/>I'm thankful for all of the important stuff like family, dogs, health, food, USA, the beautiful seasons, our house, etc. But that's pretty standard... I'll say I'm thankful for the little things that make my day better: coffee, morning breeze, super cute stuff in the dollar section of Target, scrapbooking magazines in the mailbox, painting a piece of furniture a bright color, eating out, Cokes from McDonalds, checking projects off of my long list of to-do's, ETC! :o)<BR/><BR/>As for the "extra" gift card. It would have to go for a young family I know trying to stay afloat by having the mom stay home with three young children all while struggling to pay the bills because she knows she wants to be home with the kiddos.<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for the giveaways!
