The day is almost up, but I will not forget to leave y'all with some sweet God Stop moments from this past week! As always, thank you Patty for hosting this sweet event! ; )
Ok...I so wish my friend Teresa, who comments on my blog and others, was a blogger but she's not. She and I live 30 minutes apart and found each other through my blog. Well, a couple of months ago, we met for the first time, and I feel as if I've known Teresa for 100 years. That long lost best friend that you had placed in your lap directly by God Himself!
She and I had lunch today and talked 100 mph and she just blessed the socks off me!! Here is a picture that was taken at our 1st "meeting" and a sign we made for another bloggy friend, Leigh, that Teresa actually knows in real life and I actually know in the non real life of blogville!! So, here we are for the 1st time...and no, I didn't take a picture of us today at lunch. I forgot! :(
So, I'm so thankful to God for giving me this new friend. I believe that we will be friends for a long time. She's the real deal and I'm thrilled to have her in my life. She listened today. She encouraged. She laughed. She shared. She blessed me in every way a friend can. She's honest. We've prayed together. She is simply delightful. She loves her family. But, most of all....Jesus is all over this precious woman!! He is so in you Teresa....He shines gloriously in you and through you!! You are precious to me!!
And....secondly....my family is life to me. My hubs and my boys are EVERYTHING to me! You know how you just sit and look at them and have the Holy Spirit just speak love and joy over your momma's heart for these people He has blessed you with???!! I had that today. And, my heart melted right then and there as I hugged and loved on them!! It was like God whispered in my ear....."Aren't they just the neatest and coolest?!"
"Thank you so much for these men in my life, Jesus! They are truly everything to me."
Have a wonderful weekend wherever you are and whoever you are with! May you reflect the love of Christ to everyone and have some fun and laughter!!!
Hugs, prayers, and blessings over you all~

God is amazing how He directs friends into our lives and I am so happy you had a great lunch! Your boys are the cutest boys and they look like they are a bundle of energy! Having boys myself I can testify to that! You are so special and I can't wait to party with you in S.A. and don't you know God already has everything planned for all of us!!
Love Ya,
Patty

What a wonderful time with friends & it just blesses me to hear of a woman so in love with her husband & boys. Does it get easier, friend? I mean with 3 boys? I had a humm dinger day on Friday as they were in rare form and as much as I love them so dearly, I am incredible busy...always. I wouldn't give it up for anything though! I'll have to check out that Beth Moore thing too! You're an encouragement to me.
FUN TIMES! Isn't it just wonderful how the Lord places sweet sweet friends in our paths! He is SO good!
I totally know what you mean about just being overwhelmed with joy over your family. I feel the same way every time I look at Landon!
Love you!

I believe friends are one of the sweetest "happies" the Lord gives us and I am so thankful for this one!
