Happy Birthday Peyton! Seven years have gone so fast.

 

My little girl is seven years old today. The time has just flown by so fast. Just seven years ago I was holding a little baby that didn't even weigh 5 pounds. The first time I held her I had such joy. It was so amazing to hold that little miracle in my arms. I had always dreamed of being a mother and holding her in my arms was so much better than I had ever imagined.

Peyton is so special and amazing. As a parent I feel that I sometimes make mistakes. I feel sometimes that I cant give her all the same things that a mother with vision could give her. I think about that a lot. I do my best and that is all I can do. I do know that it is imposable for a mother to love a daughter anymore than I love her.

Peyton is such amazing daughter and such a great big sister to Kaison. I am so proud of her. She is so smart and artistic. She is learning piano and is so musically gifted. It is hard to put into words the love I have in my heart for her, but I know the first time that she holds a daughter of her own she will understand.

15,000 likes on Facebook Challenge to Save Peyton Park

I know that many of you have watched and shared the post about Three Wishes and Peyton Park. We have been completely overwhelmed with the love that we have felt from the posts and emails we have received. Over 1,200 people have visited blindmom.com this week. I had no idea that it would touch so many people. It has been a really great experience to hear your kind words, and words of encouragement.

When I was talking to the owners of Sunset Ridge they told me that it would take at least $15,000 to save the park by building a wall to keep the hill from sliding any further. I understand as a business owner is a hard cost to swallow. I told them I would be willing to raise the money and do what ever I could do to help. It was very apperent to me that they didnt want the help and had no intent on keeping the Park on the property.

I told two different people in the organization that I knew I cold find 15,000 people that would donate at least a dollor to save the park. Both scoffed and mocked the idea. This is where all of our Facebook friends and family come in. I want you to all share this challenge with all of your friends. I want to see how long it will take for 15,000 people to care. All I ask you to do is share the blindmom.com Facebook page with everyone you know and have them hear the story and show support by liking the page. I know that there are thousands of good people that have a heart. I want to see how fast we can find them.

Thank You so much! I will keep you all posted.

The Lord works from the Inside out

Brandon Shared this Quote with me and I wanted to share it. It is really profound when you think about it. Hope you like it.

The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of the people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their enviroment. Christ changes men, who then change their enviroment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature. --- Ezra Taft Benson
