Days 26-38: Blessed Life

Tonight, my husband made me cry... Tonight, he presented me with a card filled with beautiful words of love, and appreciation. He gave me this card, along with a mini version of the book Chicken Soup for the Christian Woman's Soul, just because he loves me. February 19th is not a holiday, nor is it a date that displays any meaning of importance to our family... It's just another day that he loves me, and decided to show me that love in his own way. And, I do feel very loved by him. Why do little gestures such as a card touch us so deeply? Why can a card with simple words bring tears to my eyes? It's because I read the words with a soft heart, and know, honestly know, that the words are truthful...


I apologize for my lack of posts these past two weeks. The Lord's work comes first, so I have been spending my time and energy on other things. A lot has happened since my last post... I've been growing my hair out for three years with the intention of donating it to Locks of Love. And, I finally accomplished doing so last Saturday. The GLA donations still have not been sent out because I still have two pick ups. All of the recent snow showers delayed my pick ups, so I missed the Feb. 15 deadline. Which, I was upset about, but figured that God had a purpose for it. Anyway, they will ship out again to Haiti in the (hopefully) near future, and when GLA does so they will have four big boxes from the loving people around my community... Let's see...I'm trying to remember everything that has happened over the last two weeks. I do so many noteworthy things every day that it's hard to remember it all... I've basically been following every little path that God turns me to. He holds my hand, and shines the light when it's dark. This has made it very easy to guide people to Him. It's easy guiding people His way when He's telling me what to say. I have something pretty amazing planned for Sunday that involves a very dear friend of mine. The Lord is a guiding light in that and all of my relationships, and I just can not praise the Lord enough for the things He's been doing in my life! I'm always so happy! My children are amazing, and SO smart! I've been home schooling Rene, and I don't think anyone would believe how high her comprehension level is! She's capable of first grade work, and she's only three. A friend of mine contributes it to me staying home with her and the one-on-one she gets with me, and I'd have to agree that it may have something to do with it. However, I contribute her brilliance to the Lord. Other than my children, my husband loves me, I'm building great friendships, and I'm making a difference in the world, one person, one organization at a time... If that's not living life to the fullest, then what is? I had an awesome Valentine's day! My husband set up a little party for the girls and I complete with streamers and balloons, and the girls and I had fun enjoying our party... What else could one ask for? Do I live a great life, or what? And, it's all because of the Lord! I lived a blessed life because of His love. He loves me, and He loves you. I hope all who read this truly know that they are loved! You may wonder how you can be loved without feeling loved... If you want to experience true love, just ask for it! Ask the Lord to come into your heart, and live the blessed life! You know, my husband didn't always write me cards that made me cry... Mark wasn't always the man that he is today... He's become, and is becoming a great man because he walks with Christ... If you are lonely, sad, feel unloved, or unlovable, then please, right here, right now... Say this simple prayer...

Dear Lord,

I want to feel your love. I want to know the Lord that I've heard so much about. I want to know you. I want to give you my heart. Lord, I know I have sinned. I am a sinner. Please forgive me, and bless me with your love, with a relationship with you. Thank you Lord.

Amen

Say that prayer, or make up your own.. Speak from your heart, and talk to the God that created you in His image. Pray to the God that LOVES you and wants you to love Him. The way I see it is if you are lonely, or sad, or have any trouble in your life that you have not been able to overcome yourself, then you have nothing to loose by going to the Lord. You have nothing to loose, but everything to gain. Let the Lord ease your worries and fears.  Let Him comfort you... With Him you will thirst no more!... Be His. Hear His truthful, honest words... Let Him soften your heart...

I hope this has touched someone's heart. If you are that person, then feel free to leave me a comment, or a e-mail. Feel free to ask me any questions that you may have about salvation, or the Lord's love.

God bless you, and have an extraordinary night!
