Some people are crazy.
Some people have crazy dreams.
I’m a part of one of those groups.
From the very beginning of the great big dream God gave our family to begin Mercy House, Dayspring Cards has supported us by selling our jewelry to help fundraise and encouraging our hearts thru the (in)Courage community. There have been countless acts of kindness towards our organization and our family.
When we traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, to spend a few weeks in July, Dayspring offered to supply our gifts for our Kenyan Board of Directors (gift-giving is an important custom in Africa).
(a couple of board members, me, my daughter, and Maureen, our Executive Director)
They were delighted to receive beautiful journals filled with inspirational scriptures:
Dayspring also sent some beautiful items to decorate the home and remind our precious staff and residents they are loved:
And the girls can’t wait to use this fun item as a message center:
Isn’t it awesome to see these beautiful items in KENYA at the Mercy House maternity home??
Thank you Dayspring for your support and for making a difference in American and Africa!

How fabulous!
Oh, really beautiful!
Don’t you just love how God knits the world together…a piece of you, of DaySpring in Kenya, something that is in your home in America is also in the home you have built across the ocean. Lovely!
That is just wonderful!
Kristen — it touched my heart to see the DaySpring gifts decorating the Mercy House with love — and to know you were there to place them in the home. I know the hearts there are savoring the aroma of you and your family’s beautiful presence there… the love of Christ in the skin. *hugs*
Beautiful! I have one of the Mercy necklaces and I am waiting for 3 of the bracelets to arrive! Should be here tomorrow! I can’t wait to give two of them as gifts and pass on the idea of The Mercy House! Of course, I have to keep one of them! :o)
May God continue to bless your efforts! Thank you Dayspring for supporting The Mercy House and Kristen’s God given dream!
