I remember when I was little waiting in the kitchen for it to get out of the oven and then spreading some butter on it and drinking a glass of cold milk. I can still smell it! Also, when I lived in Denver my mom sold the house I grew up in. The week before she moved she flew me back in town to spend one last weekend in the house. Great closure for me. Hope all is well!

To help your children see God in their life everyday. It's easy to see and hear Him during the "BIG" events of life, but we often forget He is the same God every day even in the little events we experience every day. <BR/>I enjoy your posts and find your outlook on life so refreshing.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02008785683664646306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-21944017915751266952008-06-26T10:47:00.000-04:002008-06-26T10:47:00.000-04:00I couldn't agree more!

I found it through Angie Smith's. It's so strengthening to hear the testimonies of other "real" women, about our "real" God. He is so great. And thank you for the reminder about the simple things in life. I've really had to feast upon the small things, recently, and it's funny that once you see those small things, they don't seem so small anymore. "By small and simple things are great things brought to pass."

We often think it is so horrible and hard to wait. And it can be. But this insight and I know from experience, that when God is in the waiting with you, it can be a time of healing, comfort and renewal.<BR/>Thanks for blessing me with your words here today!

It means that as we get all tangled up with God, twisted together with Him like strands in a rope, He renews our strength! I used to think it meant just sitting around waiting on Him, but that's not the full picture. Now I think of getting so mixed up with Him that you can't separate us.<BR/><BR/>Way too cool! I thought you'd like that!<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Cynthiafancyscrapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865466052597356284noreply@blogger.com
