There are so many things to thank God for everyday.
- Thank God for you — for those of you who made a card for Emma and Heather. I found out Friday that they had so many cards they had to ship 3 baskets! They are on there way to Emma and family.
- Thank God for Dayspring and the peeps that work there also. They made these baskets possible and I know they are praying for Emma and family as well.
- Thank God for the wonderful update on Especially Heather’s site. Go check out how Emma’s progressing. It’s a miracle!
We were able to put together 225 cards for Emma. That just amazes me! I pray they bring some peace and comfort to Heather and her family.
Don’t forget to grab a Pray-ers for Emma button!

The talented and lovely Darcy @ My 3 Boybarians was gracious enough to make a few buttons for me to share with you to put on your blog. We are Pray-ers for Emma and I hope you will continue to pray as well as send a card to Emma.
Here’s the code for the 125px button:

Here’s the code for the 150px button:

Copy the html code inside either of these boxes and paste onto your blog. If you have trouble with any of this, please send me an email and I’ll help you get it up on your blog.

My heart is breaking.
When I had the honor of meeting Especially Heather last year and going to She Speaks with her, I would just sit and look at her in awe. She, herself had been through so much. I don’t think it ever registered with me just how much she’s been through with Emma. And still going through.
Emma recently had been in the hospital for 6 weeks, able to go home but then started having seizures. She’s back in the hospital again. You can read updates on Heather’s site to keep up with things there or look at Heather’s Twitter page. You can also make donations to Emma’s hospital fund on Heather’s site.
One of the most important things we can do is pray. Pray for Emma. Pray for Heather. Pray for their family. Pray for the doctors and nurses.
The next thing we can do is to let Heather know we’re praying for them. The ladies at DaySpring have made it possible for me to send a gift basket of cards, but I need your help!
1. Go to http://www.studiodayspring.com/cardbasket.php and make a card. There are suggested sections, but you can choose any card that you feel expresses your heart. You can change the text on many of the cards to fit this situation. You can also add your own text, pictures, clipart or message.
Please be creative in this. Draw signs that say you’re praying for Emma and take a picture to put on the card. Write her name in the sand if you’re near the beach and take a picture. Personalize these cards to the max! I know you can!
2. At checkout, use the promo code: GCHEATHERAPR13. The checkout will show a $2.99 charge but the promo code will cancel that out. There is no charge for Studio DaySpring printing this card and sending the basket. I hope you will let @incourage know how much you appreciate their love and willingness to set this up for Heather. You do not have to put in an address for shipping — the promo code will group all the cards together for the basket.
** Edited to add** You will need to put in your address in the Recipient’s screen. The system will not let you pass that screen unless you put something in there. The promo code will gather all the cards into the same basket.
Please save your design. Take a minute and create an account to save your design. There have been people who have submitted cards that I’ve found out are not showing up in the system. Please let me know that you have created a card so I can make sure it went through the system correctly and shows up in the basket! Either leave me a comment here or email me.
3. All cards must be designed and submitted by April 13th!
4. Come back here and leave a comment telling me you’ve submitted a card. I’ll enter you for a drawing for Sheila Walsh’s new book “Get Off Your Knees & Pray.” I’ll close the drawing April 13th and choose the winner the next day.
Help me spread the word. Submit a card or two. I would love for Heather and her family to get this basket and be able to wallpaper the hospital room with beautiful cards from all of you.
This is a new system for Studio DaySpring. Please email me and let me know if you have any problems whatsoever creating the card you want or if you have questions. I’ll me more than happy to find out answers.
