Blog Awards

It's blog award time again! A big THANK YOU to Alicia from 'Life's a Journey', Renee' from 'Glow Academy' and Rose from 'Mahoney's Musings.' Two of the awards were duplicates, so I grabbed something new that I didn't have yet. I've been eyeing up that 'I Love Lucy' button for a while now.

I'm supposed to pass these awards on to a certain number of blogs, but I don't want anyone left out, so if you're reading this post, please help yourself to one of these awards. And please don't feel like just because you weren't singled out, that you're unworthy. YOU'RE WORTHY! You're also very special, and very loved.

Now let's see, each one of these awards requires rules of some kind, and since I'm combining the awards, and since I don't particularly follow rules to begin with, I'm making up my own: 7 things in nature that make me HOWL AT THE MOON:

1. The moon. Yeah, the moon makes me howl at the moon. God really shines on this one!

2. Palm trees. Did you know that God decorates His Throne with palm trees? Is there any other tree more magnificent?

3. Seahorses. Aren't they cool? God has quite the imagination...

4. I love buffalo! When I get to heaven, I'm gonna have a buffalo ranch (God said I could, so there!)

5. A sky full of stars...

6. The beach. I like to lay on the shores like a beached whale.

7. The mountains. God's really showing off now, isn't He?

What makes YOU howl at the moon?

Update on Aaron

A big hug to Christy Rose from 'The Secret Life of an American Wife and Mom' for this very sweet blog award! I'm passing it on to Jennifer at 'More Than Just Adam's Rib' and Jaime at 'For His Glory.' These ladies' blogs inspire me and bring me closer to God.

Some more good news - I won! I won! I won a signed copy of "Behold the Dawn" by K.M. Weiland at 'Faith Imagined.' Thank you Alisa! I will treasure this book for years to come.

And finally, the best news of all...Aaron just had his follow-up doctor visit. Remember the doctor said he would have a permanent dent below his eye? Everything is healing nicely, and there will be no visible scars or dents! His beautiful face is looking good as ever! Thank you all for your powerful prayers. We have a God in heaven who is moved by compassion to heal and restore... praise God!
