The Cross

I thank you Father for the Cross

For the perfect sacrifice.

for the gift of Love only you could give

the gift of Eternal Life.

As so many hurt and feel such pain,

your hope is all that I can share.

So Merry Christmas to this aching world,

May you know your Savior cares.

My Stranger

To the lady at the check out who gave me the $1. Thank you for not waiting for me to awkwardly look for a candy bar to add to my total or scrounge for change at the bottom of my purse. For not making me feel stupid for not having $1 and for actually saying MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS YOU!

Thank you for being kind. For not being a stranger. I hope it comes back a 1,000 fold.

Thank you Jaime and happy birthday.big sis!

I want to tell my neighbor, Jaime, just how special she is. If there is a moment or opportunity for her to serve and love on people, she is the first in line. I have a friend, that Jaime does not know, that just had a baby. And when Jaime found out, she asked me if she could make a meal for her! She is a full time mom and teacher and yet still seeks out ways to serve other people. I want her to know that she is appreciated and loved very dearly!
My sister Amy's birthday is today! I love this photo of us. This was over 4 years ago and such a great day for our family. She looks so pretty here. Happy Birthday big sis!
