I love Little Gems! (Okay, so maybe I’m a little partial…) I have to say that it certainly doesn’t feel BAD to be wearing something sparkly and KNOW that it helped a beautiful child across the world to have a better life!

In reply to Judy. Ah Mrs. Ryder! Thank you for your sweet words about me and my family. I'm so glad you got those Lemon Quartz earrings. I love those. They are like a ray of sunshine, just like you. :) Hugs to you and Mr. Ryder!

Allie, I hope you’re feeling better. What a heartwarming post! I know how blessed we are but it’s always nice to be reminded. It is also nice to be reminded one person can make a difference.

What a great organization! Thanks so much for introducing us to it. I hope you feel better soon!! The flu is a horrible thing, which reminds me that I need to get my shot soon. Hugs, Susie

Allie, mega-dittos on Leslie’s second comment, as well as John’s. We, too have been triple-blessed by this wonderful big family in Chicago — full of faith, good works, compassion, and love for many who have been fortunate enough to have crossed their paths over the years. It’s not surprising, then, that Leslie is continuing the family tradition of leaving Footprints wherever they go, thus giving honor and glory to the Lord. I, too, have been the happy recipient of the gift of some Little Gems earrings. Part of the pleasure of receiving them was knowing that a portion of their cost went to help precious people such as those pictured on this post. Thanks, Leslie (and Laura)! And thanks, Allie! Sorry you were mowed down by the flu — down, but not out, right, Allie? So hoping and praying that you are feeling much, much better soon! XOXO

Wonderful post, Allie! So sorry about the flu. Your mom has also had an awful cold – hopefully not the flu. Thanks for sharing – bless you all,
