Thankful Living: Week 3

In an effort to become more conscious of all the blessings of my life, I think I'll be joining Peggy, over at The Simple Woman in her Thankful Living series. If you don't know Peggy, she is the brain behind the The Simple Woman's Daybook- a weekly meme that gives you a sneak peek into other women's daily lives. Very interesting reading and pretty fun to fill out, too.

From what I gather, the rules are to list weekly three things you are thankful for. If you'd like to link up, you just list your blog post in her comments section. Pretty simple, right? Here we go...

Three moments from another week passed of thankful living.

Can we ever be thankful enough.

Week-ending Three

I AM THANKFUL FOR...

English Bulldog Set on Fire

Imagine being purposely set on fire and having absolutely NOTHING to do about it.

That's the story of sweet Churchill, the bulldog, who was so viciously set on fire last week in San Antonio, Texas. I don't know anymore details other than that as I cannot bear to read the full story, which can be found here.

It will take an estimated $10,000 to get this sweet boy back on the road to recovery. I'm begging all of my readers to please, please send in your Starbucks fund for the week so that Churchill can have a joyous and happy life in a loving home. (I know it's pumpkin spice latte season, but think of the horrible injuries you're helping to heal!)

I'm working on getting together a sort of 'swag' goodie bag to those who donate to Churchill's cause. If you have anything you might be interested in donating (a small gift certificate to your shop, something you make by hand, graphic/blog design service, etc) , please contact me!

I just found this out a couple of hours ago, so give me a bit of time get some things together. I'll be updating asap! And please keep Churchill in your prayers. I know the Lord is watching over this sweet baby right now.

Thanks so much lovely readers! Bless all you animal lovers out there!

xoxo Y

UPDATE: So far, here are the AWESOME animal loving shops that will be featured in "Churchill's Swag Bag":

• Tucker Blair, preppy needlepoint goodness
• Just Simply Southern, southern accessories goodness

I *think* I'm doing this right...not sure, but I'm always up for posting pictures of my babies! If you're a regular reader, I'm sure you've seen this picture of my babycakes, Jackson. He's such a love. Spoiled rotten, but mommy's Jack Jacks. :)
