Thank God and thank you for your Love and Friendship

Dear Friends and Visitors,

I am thankful to God for the joy and privileges of knowing each one of you, my dear blogging friends and visitors.

Reading your blogs and your comments have been such enriching and encouraging experiences for me!

Your friendships, prayers and encouragements do mean a lot to me. They are tokens of God's love for me and I thank God upon every remembrance of you.

I am thankful to God for causing our paths to cross in such wonderful ways through blogging!

Your presence, love and friendship has made blogging a very wonderful and blessed experience for me. Every one of your comments mean a lot to me even though I may not be able to respond individually to them due to various constraints. Know that they are precious to me and I thank you for leaving notes for me to encourage me!

I pray that God will continue to keep you near to Him and make you a blessing to all that come into contact with you, to His glory. May you continue to grow in your love for the Lord and His people.

2 Awards to share with you!
(Feel free to pass these on or if you prefer not to, it is okay!)

Here are 2 awards that kind friends shared with me and I like to share with all of you, my dear blogging friends and visitors, for the ways your friendships, your blogs and your comments have been such blessings to me.

I will try and list as many of you as I can, and will keep on adding. But if I do incidentally missed you out (I hope I don't!), please forgive me and know that these awards are for you too.

So if you are reading this post, these award belongs to you! Thanks for sharing your love and friendship with me and may we continue to pass this love and friendship on to others.

Dear Nancie,
Thanks so much. That's very sweet of you! Personally, I like it that you've chosen so many blogs. I stopped accepting awards because I always had to choose five to seven other deserving people and I disliked eliminating people. But, you show your generosity and kindness in the way you shared yours!

I love how Word-filled Wednesday has brought so many people together praising the Lord. It's awesome! I wish I had time to participate every week and comment more, but nap time isn't always long enough to get everything done! :)

Anyway, thanks again! Hopefully I'll "see" you Wednesday!

Nancie,

Thank you so much! I'm always humbled that someone would think enough of my blog to give an award of any kind.

Thanks so much for stopping by my place and just giving validity or showing interest in what you read by commenting, and giving me an award for what you found there.

It is my heart to follow Christ and be more like Him in my thinking, actions, and speech. I need His constant help. I guess that means if you saw anything good at my blog, it was JESUS!!

I will be reading your blog in bits and pieces because there are so many good things there to absorb. I'll start tonight, but I know I'll have to continuously come back. You've put a lot of time into posting because there are so many.

Thanks again and let's check on each other regularly, okay?

Many blessings to you blogging friend.
