Jeremiah 30:17,19
"Thus saith the Lord: 'Behold I will bring again the captivity of Jacob;s tents and have mercy on his dwelling places...From them will come songs of thanksgiving
and the sound of rejoicing.
I will add to their numbers,
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,
and they will not be disdained. Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me..'."
and the sound of rejoicing.
I will add to their numbers,
and they will not be decreased;
I will bring them honor,
and they will not be disdained. Their children will be as in days of old, and their community will be established before me..'."

Garage, Backyard and Furniture - Next Steps Within Our Six Week Prayer Goals
Hey, Beatta :-) We need the following from you in order to wrap up at your home.
- Can you coordinate babysitting dates/times with Nora for Friday nights (1-2 times per month), Liz/Steven for a Saturday and Lyane for a Saturday (1-2 times per month). Try to book as many babysitting opportunities as you can between now and June 1. Once you have those, please let me know so we can get you scheduled for hair, your closet, make-up, etc.
- Are you open to doing a craft day with us? We'd love to learn how to make your wreaths.
- Are you open to creating and sending an invitation to Liz, Ginger, Nora, Joyce, Lyane, Kristi, Carol (and probably about 4 more from Life Group who will connect with you soon) to come over and celebrate with you on Saturday, September 26, 3:00-6:00? Potluck. I'd like to see you include the entire families since the boys and men will be pitching in with the garage. Are you cool with that?
- Before we schedule the garage and backyard clean-up, it would help me to know if you are open to donating items or you have friends who will help you with a garage sale (that's outside of my expertise)?

Food For Thought On Philanthropy
- Depending upon your tax bracket, you can get that percentage per dollar on each donated item. For example, if you're in the 15% tax bracket, you get a tax credit of 15 cent for every dollar of item you donated based on the value.
- Teaching Charlie philanthropy - https://www.onetoughjob.org/your-family/everyday-moments/25-ways-to-teach-your-child-the-spirit-of-giving. Example, at a very young age, we had our children donate toys, books and clothes to organizations in need. To help them internalize the value of giving, this sometimes included going to the shelter or library story time to read their favorite books with the beneficiaries.
- Suggestion: Prayerfully consider making a big donation in Charlie's name of household items to a specific organization (I can offer recommendations associated with the Girls Scouts). There is something powerful cross-generationally to see a child's name associated with kindness in magnitude. It speaks volumes to the heart of a parent and that of Christ being instilled in a child's life.
Praying For You & Charlie
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Beatta, will you teach us how to....?
