4Tunate $4 Friends - amazing story of friendship

Honestly... I don't know Jen.  I did not receive the blessing of  meeting her at Blissdom 2010.  I do know Jessie and Mandi and Manda and Jill through the bloggy world.  And this form of love and under-girding and fellowship took me to my face this morning.  

But, many of you probably know Jen Murray, "Quatro Mama," from her wonderful blog 4Tunate or Twitter. She is the mama of 4 3-year-old boys .  Jessie commented on her blog today that Jen parents with grace.  Amen. We need grace to be able to parent the way He requires us to parent.

Recently, she and her family have experienced some trying times.  Her family has been struck by illness and struggles.  Her sweet friends have rallied around her and are asking for our help.  Honestly, their devotion to each other made me want to pitch in, but their dedication and hands and feet action for Jen made me want to blog about it and spread the word.  Friendships like this are rare. 

Their goal with this #4tunatefriends campaign is to fill Jen's freezer, refrigerator, and cupboards with food. ALL proceeds gathered will go to do just that!

They are asking that you just donate $4! It is easy to do so through PayPal here. Please help them lift Jen up and celebrate her as a fellow mother and blogger.

If you'd like to write a celebrate Jen post, you can link it up here to the BlogHop and it will be shown on all the blogs with the BlogHop link!

and join me in praying for Jen and her family...
