There’s no possible way I could ever show my thankfullness to all the family, friends, and community who continue to show us such amazing support and love throughout this battle.

I stress over wanting to find the addresses and contact info for people to send “thank you notes” and scramble to find the words to express my sincere gratitude.

I pray nightly that our family never forgets this feeling of love that’s been poured out to each of us and the humbling feeling of being served.

I hope for opportunities to repay people for their selfless acts of kindness.

But, as we look for opportunities to do so, write our thank you notes, and pray or each of these families and friends whose intentions keep pouring in as more loved ones and their family or friends continue to meet obstacles on their path (be it health, wealth, or well-being), I realize that repayment is not the point.

The point of gratitude, I feel, is not to repay acts of kindness, but to recieve it rightly … and then

PASS IT ON.

…..

IT STARTS NOW… TEAM BUNA takes on new meaning:

Beginning a few weeks ago, I began “featuring” 2 new families or projects at a time on our SUPPORT THE TEAM PAGE.  As I mentioned before, “BUNA” means “good”, and that’s just what this TEAM is about.  God is good, all the time, and He calls us to strive to be more and more like him every day. Right?  So let’s go out there and do some “GOOD” for God and for others.  As my long time pal, Chris McDonald (of Ain’t Life Grand Investments; MUGSHOTS BAR AND GRILL, GLORY BOUND RESTAURANTS, and more) says in both his company team building and daily life with his family and kiddos,

“LOVE GOD, LOVE PEOPLE, CHANGE THE WORLD.”

Team Buna is taking his challenge on and hoping to not simply REPAY this community (I don’t know how we ever could… The love we keep receiving is beyondeasure)  for their kindness as we continue to fight, but PASS IT ON.

*Each family or project that we feature will link their story and a link on how you can be a part of their journey, while also being credible groups and sites that we are personally connected to and feel we can safely vouch for.  They will have 2 weeks on my blog site to be featured and have their intentions recognized so that we can PRAY IT FORWARD for them, too!  (2 weeks featured, but forever kept in our thoughts and prayers)

SUPPORT THE TEAM

Pass it on…

As many of you may remember, my kids had wanted to throw a little contest when we were doing our last t-shirt campaign that was wrapping up in may.   They get so pumped up seeing people around town in TEAM BUNA shirts ( especially when they get down or worried after hearing of more infusions or hearing others talk about being 2 or 3 time survivors, or their detailed surgeries or scars in front of  my kids! Simple words, my friends, simple words, please!) It cant help but admit that it really pumps me up, too.

If you ask my hubbie, I always have been, and still am the person at assumes no one recognizes me or remembers neither my face or my name.  I recognize everyone’s faces as I walk through stores and parties (I admit, I’m terrible with names), but I remember where we met, what we spoke about and probably what outfit thy wore last or something funny or cute they told me about their kids.  But me?  I assume I blend in with the crowd and thus, I duck my head and probably don’t say “Hi”.

Until NOW.  Now, I still assume you may be wearing that shirt and walk right past me, not even knowing that I’m the girl that the shirt was first designed for.. but that’s ok.  I might stop you if I know you to say, “Thank you for the prayers!”  I feel more confident to say “Hello”.  It doesn’t matter if you got the shirt for me, for my kids, for my hubbie, for my extended family, or just because someone else go it for you.  Because when I see this shirt now… I see “PRAYER”.  I see “GOOD”.

SO….

WE ARE EXTENDING THE CONTEST!!!

IF “BUNA” mean “GOOD” …

…then, we hope that these shirts, this TEAM, means so much more than OUR FAMILY.  We hope that people can wear these shirts to be reminded to their is always “Good”.  -God is always Good, All the time.

-There is always Good to be done, so get out there and be a part of it.

-We are no Good without prayer, so go get some graces from it and get ‘er done.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST…

“Every little thing is gonna be alright…”

AND THAT’S A REAL GOOD GOOD THING!”
