The Smile Mile - a book for your home library

Hi Friends - I am so excited to share this special gift that my friend, Hope, has written!

CHRISTMAS PRESENT IDEA!!!!

Hope is a mom not unlike you and I. She is a living testimony on what it means to be joyfully present with her family. Hope is involved in her church, the community, an author and is always there to go the extra Smile Mile!

The Smile Mile is a book the inspires children to go the extra mile…at home, in school, at church and in their community.

In Hope's words:

"This story represents the absolute power of God and is a genuine example of how He utilized my God-given gifts to spread His word. I was inspired to write this story after reading "The Adrian Rogers Legacy Bible" © 2009 by Love Worth Finding Ministries, Inc.; focusing on Mr. Roger's message related to The Beatitudes and going the "Miracle Mile". This story was born in hopes that children (and families) all over the world will be inspired to apply their own Smile Miles. Remember, "practice makes permanent", so go The Smile Mile each and every day! You can apply and record your own Smile Mile progress using the letter to families, counters, activity list and Smile Mile log located in the back of this book."

People are using The Smile Mile at their churches, day cares, homes and libraries. Spreading the word with smiles for miles!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor...
