Make a Difference: Open Door Ministries

Open Door Ministries has been serving the broken and needy people of Denver since 1997.

"Our mission as an outreach of Open Door Fellowship Church is to embrace needy and broken people in urban Denver with the heart and hands of Jesus. Open Door Ministries exists to provide practical help and hope to people in Denver’sinner city who are homeless or in danger of becoming homeless. Specifically, we provide transitional homes for young mothers and their children, as well as for single women who do not have children with them. We also provide a high-quality preschool, child care and before-and-after school program, primarily for children from families in poverty. Open Door reaches out to disabled people through our TRYAD program and Cornerstone Home. In addition, we offer free weekly meals and provide a resource center that includes job skill training, counseling and food. Through these unique programs, we supply tangible needs like food, clothing and shelter, as well as intangible needs such as friendship, hope and Christian spiritual guidance."

Run for the Door is the 5K fundraising effort happening next Saturday, May 22 at Cheesman Park. Or click HERE to see all of the ways you can serve.

Give Thanks: Part 4

KEEP READING FOR A GREAT SCENTSY GIVEAWAY! There is so much to be thankful for, it really is hard to decide what will make these next few posts... but today is an ode to my husband. If there is one thing he loves, it's great smells. Although great smells come from great cooking, they also come from great candles. Now with kids around candles can feel a little risky, but then came Scentsy . This is a "flameless" candle which is actually kind of a throw back to the scented wax warmers that used a candle. No candles here, just plug in the warmer and the small light bulb does all the work. I'm a fan of the nightlight sized warmers, but the larger Scentsy warmers are quite lovely. Browse the entire Holiday Collection to find the one perfect for your home or start thinking about gift giving - the combinations are endless! And look at this festive warmer of the month (10% off): But now we need to talk about fragrance! Silver Bells is the fragrance of the month (als

Mom Spot: Progressive Pioneer

Here is another blog I've come across in recent weeks. She has gorgeous pictures and her post yesterday was truly fantastic. "Maine is pretty rainy in the spring.  And I lived in Oregon for awhile and it defines rainy.  So, a little rain rarely puts me in a gray mood.  In fact, this rainy, rainy spring we've been having here in Utah has actually made me feel quite cheerful!  Each rainy day has felt like something of a celebration." Click HERE to read the entire post - you have to see the photographs! You'll also find all kinds of topics on sustainable and simple living. Enjoy!
