Happy Thursday to you and may your day be filled with love and joy!
Smiles sent your way, this day and everyday.
A nine year old girls birthday wish
and her tragic death helps a charity far
beyond anyones imagination.
The Story of Rachel Beckwith and her wish for a world with clean water.
Thoughtful and now an angel, this Seattle area girl took to heart a spokespersons explanation how billions of people have to drink unclean water. Water that makes them sick, and kills young children daily. This nine year old girl took that message to heart and put it into action a plan.
Her story will unfold in the links below but I will do my best to at the very least present it so that you want to hear and learn more.
Her request to her family and friends that on her June 11th her birthday wish is that no presents be given the only gift a donation of $9 so that she can raise $300 for Charity Water to help 15 people have clean drinking water.
The request and goal raised $220, a awesome selfless goal to help others in need.
On July 23, 2011 she died from an auto accident just 3 days prior.
The pastor of her church takes time to not only give care and prayer and words to lift up the family and church body but he takes the reigns and spreads the story through social media, the Internet and anyone who would listen.
The affect?
A young girls heart and passion to help others.
A family who grieves but understands the impact their little girl had and still has on others.
The world has many inspirational moments like these but heaven has another angel.
An angel that smiles down upon us all!
Some video and some links to learn more.
May your day be filled with love and may your day be inspired to make a difference in some way.
If you liked this story pass it on

This day and everyday make it special for you and others. Take the time to care and show concern for gratitude and love. For to me love is the key to so many of life troubles. Gratitude is the cure for so much impatience and lack.
