Prayer needed for a homeschooling mom of 10

Please be in prayer for a mom in our homeschool group that has been battling cancer for almost three years. She has ten children. All but one of these children have been adopted. Monday, July 27th has been set up as a day of prayer and fasting for her complete healing if you'd like to participate. If you'd like to follow her blog, it's http://www.faithfulpromises.com/ . You are welcome to share this request with other believers.

Blessings,

I know we all are concerned about the safety of products we use in our homes these days. It seems like everyday we hear about how bad something is and the toxins it emits in our lives. I saw this article on a website and thought I'd pass it on.

Knowing Which Product Is Best
Good Guide is a relatively new company that aspires to provide information on the health, environmental and social impacts of common products that we use in our home. They cover over 70,000 products so far in food, personal care, toy and household products category. The best part is that these ratings and reviews are available online or via an iPhone app and also via SMS/text messaging. You can get information on products by searching on product categories, product names, and also on the bar code.Example: You’re in a store comparing two green cleaning products (let’s say Seventh Generation Shower Cleaner and Tilex Fresh Shower Cleaner). Text “gguide seventh generation shower” to 41411, and you get a report back showing Seventh Gen’s Shower Cleaner overall score of 8.5 and Health, Environmental and Social scores of 8.0, 9.2 and 8.4 respectively. Text “gguide tilex shower” and you soon get an overall score of 5.4 (8.0 Health, 3.5 Environmental and 4.9 Social). The website provides much more information about what’s behind these rankings. Fast, easy and helpful! Check out GoodGuide.com.
