I wanted so badly to list everyone's names as winners, but I only have two copies of the book to give away. :(
So I prayed and began numbering your names and cutting them into little strips.I prayed that all of you will be able to Put God Back in the Holidays!
I hope that many of you will be able to order the book if you did not win.
Click here to order Bill and Penny Thrasher's new book.I placed all the numbers in a bowl and had Olivia and her friend Sarah each draw a number before they left to watch a boy's basketball tournament.
And the winners are:
Natalie, my sweet friend whose daughter Mallory is in Heaven with Nick; and Jennifer, my sweet friend whose son Tyler is in Heaven with Nick.
Even though I wish I could be typing all of your names...I really, really do...I can't help but think that God had his hand in choosing two of my grieving friends.
I love you all so much!
I will share highlights from the book from time to time so that all of us can learn a little more about how to Put God Back in the Holiday!!!
God bless your Saturday!
Oh, and I apologize for not keeping my word about announcing a winner last night. I had a reward day at school, and it was a little too crazy for a blog drawing.......and in the little time I was home last night our Internet was not working yet. When I finally got home at 10 last night, I was just too tired to pull together an official drawing!!!
I'll try to have several more drawings as the holidays approach!

Tammy - I can't tell you how excited I am...it is so much fun to "win" anything:)...but I am also awed - as I have prayed over this. I have not specifically prayed to win a contest but that God would help me navigate through this weeks ahead. I even received a sweet email from Whitney at Moody (in response to my comment) and I just was reassured that God was not only hearing my prayers but that He also cares....and sometimes I just need to be reminded.
I am so anxious to begin reading this book....just as anxious to see how the holidays play out and God plans for them.
If you think of it, I could use an extra prayer or two as one of my children is really struggling - and these next weeks will, no doubt, be extra hard. Sometimes I think the ripple effects will never stop....
Goodness. But thank you again for making this book available. I know it will be a blessing.
Love ya, friend. Jennifer
Jennifer,
I was so happy to see you had won! I wish we lived closer and could "really" visit. I will definitely be praying for you as you make your way through Thanksgiving. This journey through grief is not an easy one, is it????
Email me your mailing address, and I will get your copy in the mail:

I love you!
Tammy
