I've got lots of blog friends doing good deeds lately. Since I know all of you are good deed lovin' people, I figured I'd share a couple of links in case you feel like helping out.
Uno. First up, we have my friend Almost Gypsy Soul. I've told you previously that you need to follow her blog. Seriously. Anyway, she is part of an adopted soldier program and previously sent her soldier a Duck Dynasty care package. You can see what was included here. Well it was so popular, that another soldier wrote to her asking if she could send some more of these packages for the guys/girls in his unit. How cool is that? So my friend is now working on putting together 10 Duck Dynasty care packages. And she could use you help! Click here to see what you can do!
Dos. Next up is a project near and dear to my heart....the Run for the Little Flowers 5K. This is a virtual run (which means you can run it anywhere you are the week of October 19) and it raises money for an orphanage in China that takes care of babies--especially ones with disabilities. If you look up Little Flower Project on Facebook, you'll fall in love with these kids and the work that the Project is doing. I donate to them every month (if you want to do that you can learn more here). But I am also participating in the virtual run. It's organized by Katie, who is currently in the process of adopting a little one from China, so it's something close to hear heart as well! To sign up for the virtual run, click here.

Tres. Then we have Baby Joseph. His mama is a college friend of my sweet ND Friend. Baby Joseph is truly a miracle baby--his parents were told that he would likely have some medical issues before he was born, so there have been lots of people praying for this little guy for months. He just had his second heart surgery and yesterday they found an infection in his chest incision. Here is his family's blog about his journey. Please keep Baby Joseph (and his sweet parents) in your prayers.

Prayers for that sweet boy! I say a prayer every day to have a healthy baby. I cannot imagine having to go through anything hard like that. Glad they have a great friend like you to help support them :)
I'm totally buying a couple seasons of Duck Dynasty to send in the care packages, and writing a couple letters to the soldiers. I was planning on sharing it on my blog as well to try and recruit some help for her. What a great thing she's doing!
