My heart is very full. Last week brought many late nights of excited preparation leading up to Gracious Legacy's Launch party on Sunday. 
The Hawley's opened up their beautiful home for the occassion. Thanks Melissa and Jamie! Above are some of the Gracious Legacy info cards. Thank you Audrey and Jennifer for helping me finish the final ones up late Saturday night.
It was a blessing to be able to share my heart and vision for the ministry. I was surprised at how high my emotions were running as I once again let tears fall. I used to tease my mom for crying at the drop of a hat and now I seem to fill her shoes. They are sweet shoes to fill so I guess it's okay.
It was also fun for my different circles of friendship to collide. There were close to 35 people...some from church, as well as moms of my girls' friends, a friend from college, and even a couple of friends of friends. We had a precious time of prayer and then got down to work!
The smaller, decorative gift bags will be taken to Plano Presby Hospital to precious people who are undergoing treatment for cancer.
Sweet Natale and Grace were wrapping up the rolls of quarters for each bag.
People were so generous in bringing items for the bags...snacks, books, notepads, drinks, notecards, etc.
Here are a few of the bags finished and ready to be given to

Today I was so excited and blessed to be able to take the first round of bags down to Dr. Mendeloff's patients undergoing open heart surgery at
Medical City Dallas Children's Hospital. As I was leaving, the
Child Life Specialist told me she was immediately taking a bag down to a family. Once again, I got quite emotional driving away.
I truly feel so honored that God is allowing me to be a part of this.
It just makes my heart incredibly full, and I can't wait to
see how He uses this to show His love to people who simply need it in
the difficult and scary times they find themselves in.
So feel free to check us out at www.graciouslegacy.org. There will still be some graphical changes made, pictures added and even a paypal peice added but it is up and running. I love it. Thanks to Jason Bessonette who is the man making that happen.
"God makes all things work together for good for those who love Him" (Rom. 8:28)...even those things that we thought could only break our hearts.
