One week ago, Outreach Community Ministries (of which Bobs Furniture is a division of and where the proceeds of what we sell - minus our expenses - help support the programs and services offered through - whew that was a mouth full!) launched a new website (http://www.heartsofgrace.org/) with the purpose of offering women a chance to join forces with other women to help women and their families. Not that men aren't welcome - but the point really is to unite women in an empowering way to create change in other women's lives.
What I love about the site are the real life stories of women who have been positively impacted by Outreach - and by Outreach, I mean the people who are working extremely hard day-in-day-out offering everything from foundational help (physiological needs - the basic needs we all have - as in Maslow's hierarchy of needs) to social and spiritual needs. The whole enchilada you might say. Once you've read Jessie's story or Guadalupe's or Carol's or Megan's, you'll see how an organization like Outreach - in conjunctions with others - can have an amazing, life changing impact on others. You and I can be a part of that change.

There are many definitions for the word "grace" but a couple I really like are: a disposition to be generous or helpful; goodwill - a favor rendered by one who need not do so (from The Free Dictionary by Farlex) and to have a generous heart, a heart which overflows with goodwill and favor is exactly what I want for myself and how I want to live my life. I'm guessing you do too.
So, when you have a chance, dear reader, head over to the new site (again, http://www.heartsofgrace.org/) and take a look around. See if joining other women - women with hearts of grace - women desiring to make a difference in other women's lives - women who understand that each of our contributions, no matter how small, together can help create real change.
Women helping women and their families. Simple concept. Powerful results.
