I REALLY like this silly little cartoon!

See?  I can be light-hearted!

Yesterday my 6 year old granddaughter (#11 out of the 13 grandkids) came upstairs and handed me a very stretched out but most beautiful bracelet that she had gotten out of a give away pile.  She said, "This is for you.  It's a friendship bracelet."  I wore it almost all day.  A little later she said, "You are the best grandmother in the whole world, and I love you so much!"

Yep, don't mess with the grands!

Who knows?  What we are experiencing now in our lives may turn out to be life's biggest blessing.  Our trials help us to depend on the Lord in a way that no easy time can.  Many times as he prophesied, Ezekiel quoted God as saying, "Then they will know that I am the Lord."   May we recognize His Lordship in our lives through every situation in which He allows us to be.

How good is our God, who grows us from dirt and darkness 
to cleanliness and light!  
Hallelujah!

Count YOUR blessings, name them one by one.

Count YOUR blessings, see what God has done!

Been there?  Done that?
