As some of you may remember me sharing before in this post
an anonymous person(s) has been blessing our family each month by mailing us a Kroger gift card in the mail.
This happened every single month of 2010 like clock work. At first it just about ate me alive not to know who was doing this sweet, generous, too kind thing for us and not being able to thank them properly. But I soon came to grips with it because my sister-in-law Kim gave me a some wise words and I had exhausted every possible way to track down our lovely Kroger Fairy 🙂 I kept each little envelope these gift cards came in and made plans for the stamps that adorned them. You can check out the first Grateful Giveaway I held here. And now it’s time for the last giveaway with these stamps that I so love.
This is a 5×7 canvas with the verse Colossians 2:6 & 7 — “…Continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
The Kelley family is sincerely overflowing with thankfulness to the generous person who blessed us the entire 2010 year. I cannot tell you what these Kroger cards did for us.
So here is how to enter to win this piece:
-Leave a comment about something or someone you are grateful for today
-Blog about the giveaway
-Facebook about the giveaway
–Become a fan on Facebook HERE
-Grab my button on the side and share
Please leave a separate comment for each entry.
Giveaway will end Monday, January 10th at midnight. I cannot wait to see where this piece will be headed. And a gigantic thank you to our wonderful, insanely great, over the top Kroger Fairy. We appreciate the love you have shown us.
Happy Thursday!

What a gorgeous piece of artwork and wonderful story!!
I’m so thankful for my church family. One family in the process of adopting two children, built a relationship with another orphan in the foster home. This family advocated on the orphan’s behalf in church one Sunday, explaining the special needs of this young girl. A family stepped up and is in the process of bringing her home. It is awesome and inspiring to see people let the Lord use them.
I am grateful for the freedom to worship when & how I want. I am grateful for my husband. He is an amazing man of God! He stays home during the day with our 3 babies- Gabriel(5yrs), Hannah(2yrs), & Sarah(5months). He homeshools Gabe, gets Hannah to therapy(she was born with special needs) & takes care of our baby girl, Sarah. He cooks & cleans, too. He works @ night as a chef in a restaurant. David loves me unconditionally & I am so thankful God blessed me with him! Sorry to gush so much!!
Have a great day!
