Today is BLACK FRIDAY!

As America takes to the mall at ungodly hours this morning to fill their carts with useless kitchen gadgets they would never buy at any other time of year (hello, Michelle's pizza-shaped slicer that is supposed to both cut my pizza and lift it in perfect triangular pieces onto the plates of boys who devour it before they can even appreciate the perfect geometric forms), I have a challenge for you!

You're shopping for the superheroes in your life this season anyway. Why not bless TWO superheroes at one time? Yours, and a superhero-in-no-more-waiting of a family just trying to bring that lovie HOME!

There are THOUSANDS of families selling everything from t-shirts to Thirty-One bags to nativity scenes to homemade fudge to raise the needed funds to complete their adoptions.

This Christmas, I challenge you to PARTNER WITH THEM … and put your money to a cause that has ETERNAL VALUE.

By being intentional with the items you were going to purchase this Christmas anyway, YOU can help change the orphan story. <3
