I am the proud recipient of the Lemonade Award! Thanks to my friend Penny at Confessions of a 40-something Mama Queen. If you haven’t already, go visit her blog. SHE IS A HOOT!
I have so many sweet new friends on here, and I don’t know the stories of many of you (yet), but I think each of us have been given a few lemons in life. They make us strong, right?
So dear friends, I have chosen 10 of you to receive this award. Enjoy!
1. My friend Kathy at Carolina Girl who is losing some serious weight right now. I am so excited for you Kathy!
2. My friend Mel at A Voice for Moms who has just had her world shaken, but GOD is her foundation!
3. My friend Lisa at Sharing Life with Lisa who has been through a lot in her life, and has definitely turned it around for God’s glory.
4. My precious friend Geli at inStrengths Intimate Portrait: Angelika who has overcome great obstacles in life to bloom as a sweet aromatic flower for the Lord.
5. My new friend Lisa at Family Life who is faithfully and patiently caring for her parents while being a loving Mom and wife!
6. My sweet friend Deanna at Injera Guacamole Hotdog who is in the healing process right now. I am so proud of you Deanna.
7. My friend Chilly Fingers at Walking by Faith in Flipflops because she is a pastor (God bless her!) and is CONSTANTLY handed some sour lemons!
8. My friend Michelle at the Cat Lady Chronicles who is overcoming attacks against her physical body.
9. My new friend Much2ponder at In Case You Were Wondering because I think she and I have been down some similar paths. :o)
10. My friend Michele at Michele’s Morsals Beelieve who is living with a lot of physical pain, but shining for Christ like a diamond.
God bless ALL of my bloggy friends.
Awww!!!! You are TOO sweet. May GOD be glorified through all of our Families, Ministries, Churches, Organizations, BLOGS, and whatever other service is being done in His Name.
Love you.
Thank you so much for sharing this award. You are too sweet! I appreciate you bloggy friendship and encouragement.
Wow my first blog award and it is a sweet one too, thank you!!!
Congratulations precious sister! What a blessing you are to so many! ♥
you are so funny! If you read my previous post and look at the picture you will see that my closet is organized but my pantry is a MESS!
I love your new pictures! Glad you’re back. I found a website telling how to backup your blog in case you ever lose it but I am afraid to try it in case it causes me to lose it. Silly, I know!
Probably because I just hang my clothes back on in the same spot. It’s easy to find because if it’s a sweater it goes with the sweaters, if it’s slacks it goes with the slacks. I just look for the category and color.
In the pantry, most stuff doesn’t have it’s own “spot,” except for the tupperware containers. And we’re always getting different things to put in there. Plus I have five people putting stuff in there. You are so funny!
Thanks for my first award! And, it’s a new year – I’m ready to brew up lemonade for all of 2009!
Woo hoo – you’re back up! Glad to see you got the kinks worked out.
Penny
Beth, thank you for your kind words about me. I am trying, my parents took such good care of me it is a pleasure to return the favor. thank you for this award I think it is adorable.
Congrats on your award!
Congratulations my friend! You deserve it! You are a great blogging friend! I will have to go check out the other ladies. I’m always looking for new blogging friends.
Thank you for thinking of me Beth. I will get to posting this as soon as possible, back to work after having 12 days off and seems like I have no time, but I will post it, I promise! You bless me so much:)
Oh, I feel so honoured, thank you Beth!
Yes, we all have this challenging road ahead of us where we can chose either to get better or bitter, where rocks and bolders in our path are either tomb stones or stepping stones. We chose…. often a tough choice and counter-intuitive.
However following the steps of the Master, knowing that He carries our heart in His caring and loving hands, is the only way forward.
I feel very, very blessed to receive this special award from a precious fellow lemonade producer!
Thank you so much for the award, Beth. I guess when you’re going through something difficult you really don’t see yourself as others do… you’re just plugging along, getting through whatever was thrown at ya, simply taking one step at a time.
Again, I will display it proudly and find deserving bloggers to pass it on to. Bless you, dear blogger friend.
