# 19-  Sally

Sally, I’ll be contacting you by email later today with your free downloads. (Winner was chosen by random.org) Thanks for participating.  Don’t miss out.  There’s 8 more days of Give Aways left!

Hello Friends,
It’s the 3rd Day of the 11 Days of Give Aways in honor of the 11th Anniversary of my website.  Thanks to those who’ve been participating by commenting on the blog posts.  I appreciate each and every one of you.  Just so you know, I can relate to all of those flowers in yesterday’s devotional.  You just ask my family.  They’ve seen my Snapdragon impression a lot   I’m working on it.

Today I’m continuing on with the flower theme and will be giving away one of the Seeds for Kindness Downloads.  This resource is a set of 27 questions regarding the everyday things that we do relating to our kindness shown to others.   Correlates with a garden theme or the Seeds of Kindness Theme.

Also, today’s winner will receive a copy of the Women’s Ministry Event Planning.  This is a compilation of general information for planning a retreat or event for your local church ladies group.  Leave a comment on this post in order to enter.  See details at the bottom of the post to qualify.

Today I have another new devotional for you.  It’s relating to flowers too.  I have several different flower themes on the website but I will have a general flower theme posted for you by the end of the week.  By the way, my favorite flowers are lilacs and tulips.  It’s hard to say which I like better.

Pretty Flowers All in a Row Devotional.

My Camellias are in bloom.  This photo is from a few years ago but they are just as pretty this year as ever.

For the give away I will be choosing one winner from today’s comments and announce the winner here tomorrow.

In order to qualify you must.

1.  Read the new Pretty Flowers All in a Row on the website.   Pay attention to the “Black Eyed Susan – Encouragement” point.  Then comment on this post and tell me how someone’s encouraged you lately or a way that you’ve encouraged someone else.

2.  Make sure you fill out your name (first is okay) and email address when commenting (it won’t be shown publicly)

Please Note:  Comments do not show up automatically.  I’ll need to approve them first.  I get a lot of spam on  my blog daily and a lot of them are not nice so I need to check them first.

Comments need to be posted by 12:00 Midnight today (4/23) Pacific Standard Time  to qualify for the download give-away. (Don’t go by what the comment time and date says when you post your comment.  For some reason those aren’t showing up right even though the settings are right in my WordPress)
