Summer is in full swing and everyone has been busy at Blessing House.
We had several events where we had a chance to make new friends and tell them about Blessing House. We had the Raw Iron Chopper Bike Reveal, our 4th Annual Irish Open (more on this later) and this past weekend we visited folks at the Columbia Station Homecoming Festival and the Lorain International Parade. We made many new friends and appreciate all of the good wishes and donations from everyone who came to see us.
The children have been busy at Blessing House, too. The sprinklers are out, the garden is growing and the kids are all glad to be on summer break. Pretty soon we will be harvesting vegetables from our garden and we are especially grateful to Christa Beyer and her family for all of their hard work in getting it going for us. I will have a separate post on this amazing project later.
We have been getting quite a few calls for help, too, unfortunately. While we are happy to provide a safe place for our children, it is hard for them to be separated from their parents. Please keep all of them in your prayers.
There is much more planned for our children and families in July. We are going to be having a backyard barbecue as the highlight of our week with the volunteers from the Sisters of Notre Dame Stretch Your Heart program. This is our first big event as we begin to celebrate our 10th year of caring for children.
Blessings to all and may you have a safe and restful summer!
