Our Red Envelopes



The boys took great pride in addressing our stack or red envelopes (thank you, Les & H., for your help!) as part of the Red Envelope Project, and this morning, we passed them all off to our local postmaster.  1600 Pennsylvania Avenue... here they come!  And fortunately... thankfully... we're not the only ones sending some in that direction. Hundreds (or more likely--thousands) have dropped red envelopes in to their mailboxes.  I wonder how many will ultimately reach the White House??  

Just to give you an idea-- at the above website, you can enter your name and the quantity you personally mailed, and the grand total will be automatically updated.  As of this writing, 1,137,133 envelopes have been pledged... 1,137,133!!  That's a ton of red headed to Washington D.C.!   Of course, only the LORD knows if any of these envelopes will ever reach the President.  Whether or not he ever olds one in his hands though, I'm sure he'll receive the message.  
 
So... it's not too late to join in-- just drop one or two or fifty red envelopes in the mail, and then pray... pray that the voices of the innocent will be heard in our nation's capital.

"Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to die;
save them as they stagger to their death."

Proverbs 24:11

I'm glad it's not too late. I've only just heard of this...and I wanted to participate.
