Awards To My Friends

I want to thank my Sistah Wilnette at Broken Vessels for these two beautiful awards. Please go over and introduce yourselves and be blessed by all of her encouraging posts that will truly bless your heart. To all my Sistah's and Brother's who stop by "Encouragement From My Heart" I want to share these awards with all of you. I thank the Lord for each of you, for your prayers, encouragement, and friendship, and for always being there for me. Please pass these special awards on to those who have been a blessing and encouragement to you as well. And always remember as long as we have the Lord and each other, we will never walk alone.

Good morning sweet Sistah!
What a joy to wake up this morning with a note from you... and these sweet awards. You deserve them sooo much, and you will never know what a blessing you have been in my life.
When I think back to 5 years ago in my life.. never would I have been able to imagine how God would use blogging to unite His people, crossing our paths, and bringing so many from different parts of the world in His name. I'm amazed.
Soli Deo Gloria!
Have a beautiful day, MY friend!
Holykisses,
lea

Thank you for the beautiful awards. I love your blog. I just scrolled down and saw the Thomas Kinkade picture with the rain. I love all of his paintings but this one is my favorite. We have a copy of it in our family room.
Bless you for being such a blessing in so many lives.

Lori, You are, without a doubt, one of the sweetest persons I have met. Thank you sooooo much for the awards. I will put them on my blog as soon as I can. I'm still trying to get all my programs back on my computer. I lost some things but I know God will help me get back what I need.

I visited your site yesterday and read a few of the things I had missed. As always they are great, creative and so Spirit-filled.
Thanks and be blessed, my Sistah,
AliceE.

Lorie,
Thank you sweetie!
I got the best award ever, the first time I came here. You've been a blessing to me so, so many times. I'm not sure why my avatar doesn't show on your following list. I'm certainly following you, and my Blogger list even says that I'm following you!
Anyway, I'm here, and I'm praying for you too!
Love, Debra

Your blog is just lovely.

Thanks so much for mentioning this to me. I have been busy with my dad here, but have checked my comments and have floated around once in awhile for this past week to check things out. I was just reading some of your poetry and it's beautiful. I love the one with the picture of it raining. Beautiful picture, beautiful poem, beautiful heart.

Thank you for coming over and recieving your awards. I was blessed to recieve them as well, blogging for the Lord is such an awesome journey and it really is all about him and he truly deserves all the glory. The awards are just our way of encouraging each other to continue lifting up the name of Jesus to a world that truly needs him for such a time as this.
