Action Team Spotlight Each year, I use my Action Team to fund 600 flowers, allowing us to place a flower in remembrance of a baby. This year, we were able to include 78 babies who had not been included in previous years. They weren’t intentionally left out, we simply didn’t know those spots were there. After last year’s event, I walked through the cemetery and noticed some gaps between the headstones that made me wonder if there should be another marker there. When I asked the office, they showed me the map, and I realized there were 78 more babies who needed to be remembered. So this year, those spots had flowers, too. But the flowers are about so much more than flowers. They help create a safe space for families in our community to grieve, remember, and feel seen and understood. For some, it may be a step toward healing or closure. Most importantly, it’s a place where these babies are remembered and their lives are acknowledged. I’m incredibly thankful for the Action Team support I receive for this event. It takes a financial weight off my shoulders and allows me to focus on what matters most, creating a meaningful space for our community and the families who come together to honor these babies. This is something I’m honored to do, but it truly takes a community to make it possible. See Thrivent.com/social for more important disclosure information.

Apparently, even talking about the toy budget can be exhausting. 😂 One minute we’re talking numbers, the next… What’s a topic you could talk about for five minutes that would have everyone else falling asleep? 😴
