He's right. ;) <br />We are getting ready to sign up for our second Compassion sponsored child. Ours left the program a few years back. It's a real blessing for the children and us. :) <br />You'll love it.

I have a fettish for pens and go crazy if I can't find my favorite pen (this used to be a problem when I wasn't an empty nester :) ). I handwrite my posts before typing them and publishing them to my blog! Yep-old school but it is very therapeutic! Thanks for sharing and giving us the same chance.

When I saw you were going to Declare and also that Shaun was going to be there, I was hoping you'd get the chance to hear him. I've been a sponsor and advocate for almost 20 years now...I even have a blog called Compassion Family if you need encouragement in this journey (www.compassionfamily.blogspot.com). In fact, when you are ready, I'd love for you to share this "Compassion story" with my readers through a blog post : )<br /><br />I'm going to think about my quirks and come back to share later....<br /><br />Welcome to the Compassion family!Jill Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15919221814694982320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-14775829624134742972014-08-11T13:29:22.969-05:002014-08-11T13:29:22.969-05:00This is fun, Beth :) I'm glad I read through s...This is fun, Beth :) I'm glad I read through some of the comments first because I feel better about some of my quirks, lol! So I guess that's number one, I try not to read other comments before posting my own. I want my comment to be genuine {from the heart} and not influenced but what others are saying. Sometimes I end up saying the same thing, and sometimes {ok a lot} my perspective is from left field, lol! <br /><br />I was glad to see a few germ-o-phobes in the group. We do not wear our shoes in the house and people find us weird {and sometimes get annoyed} when we ask them to remove theirs. But really, don't people know what is on the bottom of their shoes? Do you want that in your house? {Think public bathrooms, etc.} I have trouble keeping my seat when people allow their kids to play on the floor in public places, or worse, pick up the pacifier and put it right back in the babies mouth! Okay, enough, you get the idea ;)<br /><br />I'm so glad you went to Declare! And Jacqueline is sure to be a blessing to you and your family. I had a little boy for ten years until he left the program. Have a great week!Inspired By Junehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846209740481251443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-76434934358633987232014-08-11T11:59:42.332-05:002014-08-11T11:59:42.332-05:00I am so excited that you have sponsored your first...I am so excited that you have sponsored your first Compassion child!! You know this is a big love of mine and I'm thrilled beyond words that another child will have some security because you have said Yes to God! :-) <br /><br />My endearing (?) quirks are many but here's a couple: <br />1 - the egg carton needs to balance. I take out eggs from each end and work towards the middle. I don't like it when there's an uneven # of eggs left in the carton.<br />2 - on a double switch plate, both switches need to be either up or down. Not one of each.<br />3 - I talk to myself as I do chores...like telling myself what's next, etc.<br />4 - I totally have a particular way that I like my blog posts to look...same size pictures, spacing, where I put boldfaced type, closing etc. I may or may not have gone back and edited old posts because they didn't match! <br /><br />Okay, that's more than a couple but hey, I'm a full of quirks! Glad you had a wonderful time at Declare. Much love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4464807136237482773.post-57804549518136848192014-08-11T11:37:39.121-05:002014-08-11T11:37:39.121-05:00First of all, Beth, I'm glad you shared about ...First of all, Beth, I'm glad you shared about your decision about supporting a child through Compassion. You're not boasting at all - and I know God will use your caring heart to touch your dear Jacqueline.<br /><br />My quirks? Only four??<br /><br />I am a huge sports fan. Like Debbie above, I love my UCLA Bruins - but my favorite sport is hockey, and I am a huge fan of the LA Kings (who just won the Stanley Cup for the second time in 3 years...ahem...but I digress). My quirk? I have to wear the same outfit when I go to games with my son - and when I watch games at home, I have a certain chair I sit in. And, I have a few hand clasping or tapping things that I do when we're behind. Hey, maybe it works. Did I mention the Stanley Cup?!<br /><br />I have an OCD need to check, check, check - are doors locked, are things turned off, did I leave anything under the bed at the hotel, etc. Speaking of the hotel thing, I always remove ALL the bedding to make sure that I haven't left anything behind. Not sure what the housekeeper thinks.<br /><br />I like to eat cut-up fruit and vegies with salad dressing. And sometimes a sprinkling of ground ginger. The other day I had pineapple, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, grapes, and frozen peas with ranch dressing. Sometimes I'll add croutons - though I leave them until the end to eat.<br /><br />And, I am crazy-weird about germs (Hi Ceil!). Waterless soap is my best friend. 'Nuff said!<br /><br />XO<br /><br />Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.com
