Children are a gift from God. We never know how long we will be blessed to care for them here on earth, but no matter what they will live in our hearts forever. I thank God for giving me the privilege of being Macy's mommy. Being her mommy brought me more joy than I ever could have dreamed it would and even though she lives in Heaven now with her daddy and our Heavenly Father, she still continues to bless me each and every day. I thank God for the wonderful memories that I will carry in my heart forever. Because of Jesus precious gift of salvation I know I will see my little family again one day in Heaven and what a glorious day that will be!

Smile! :)

Smile ~ even when you don't feel like it! Have you ever noticed how just a simple smile can break the ice, warm your heart or even change your mood? A smile is something that we all have and does not cost us a thing to share it with others. A smile is understood no matter what language we speak. You might be surprised at how good it makes you feel to possibly brighten someone's day with your smile. So don't hesitate to share your one of kind, God given smile today and be a blessing to those around you, who knows you might even feel blessed by it yourself. :)

Thank You God.....

I am feeling very joyous today and I give God ALL the praise for it! I am choosing to focus on the positive things in my life instead of the negative. Thanking God for being so gracious to give me strength and peace and everything I need to get through every day. My life is not perfect by any means, but a lot of how my life is going depends on what I choose to make of it. I believe that happiness is a choice.....

We all have difficuties that we must face in our lives. Sometimes things happen that are totally unexpected. We, of course, have no control over certain things that happen, but we do choose how we react to and how we deal with the things that happen to us. Will you trust and rely on God to see you through or will you try to handle things yourself? God wants us to trust in Him always.

We can't always understand why we are having to go through certain things in our lives, but we can know that He has a purpose and a plan for everything and that whatever we go through in life, God will be right there by our sides to help us through. His word tells us in Deuteronomy 31:6 and in Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave us. I don't know about you, but that is a great comfort to me. AMEN!!!
