Day #94: Give to Julie

Congratulations to Julie in CT – this week’s featured giver and prize winner.

Julie's Story:

I give my time to write stories for my church’s kids program on Wednesday nights. They needed some character building stories to supplement their curriculum so each week I write a “Wild West” themed story that follows a group of “adventurers” across the US. I have so much fun writing these stories that it hardly feels like “giving” anything at all… but then when I hear from the teachers how the preschoolers are raptly attentive to each installment, I just feel so blessed to give a little of my writing talent towards their enjoyment and learning!

A new prize winner is selected each week! To enter, you can leave a comment on igive any (or every) day of the week.

Our next prize is another $75 gift card to Restaurant.com.

Congratulations Julie - it sounds like you have a talent for writing! I'd love to see some of those wild west stories - do you post them on a blog?

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.
