Just a glimpse of me...

Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

Crazy Combo's! - 31 DAYS OF CRAZY - 15 October 2012

What do the following three things have in common?  What goes into making a great combo?
Thanks Deanna, Ruthanne & Jessica!!
What DO they have in common?  
  1. They are crammed in to my totally cool handmade basket.
  2. They are all rather circular in shape & form.
  3. They all contain (or are) a dairy product.
  4. They are all delicious and, for the most part, nutritious. 
  5. They are all birthday gifts for me from friends who KNOW me pretty well...
  6. And, they all make me smile :)
My sweet daughter delivered 2 containers of ice cream (coffee & butter pecan, my favorites) the night of my birthday.  Earlier that evening a dear friend gave me TWO 1-pound bags of M&M's.  I love those.  And, then my sweet neighbor friend, Ruthanne, gave me a half dozen FARM FRESH EGGS!!!  (From the hen house of Lillie. Louisa, Lavern, Lucille & Lydia)

Both happiness & joy come in different sizes & shapes. Sometimes happiness comes because you're reminded of a simpler day.  Sometimes joy comes from the HOPE you hold for a better tomorrow than what you are experiencing today.  Both happiness & joy are important to a healthy life.  So, don't limit what makes you smile to what others think is valuable. Choose your own crazy combo's & share your smile with the world!  

His Words
(got this idea from Chase Tibbs' blog)

  • "The hopes of the godly result in happiness, but the expectations of the wicked come to nothing." Proverbs 10:28
