Your prayers
your support
your encouragement
your sharing of experiences
and
your love
meant so much to me during the past month.

I was amazed by the number of friends who have traveled the same journey.
You stepped into it with grace, fought your way through with miraculous strength,
and learned how to fly.
You bared your heart
embraced me with hugs
lent comforting words
and
shared calming scripture.

You touched my heart over and over again
and ultimately blessed me.
Because of your purchases of my Sacred Hope Hearts,
I will be donating over $100 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Thank you so much.
And in complete and utter gratitude,
I want to do something for you ~
you sisters-in-Christ who are so gracious and kind.
I am giving one of you a copy of Rachel Ashwell's new book,
"Couture Prairie and Flea Market Treasures".
All you need to do is be a follower of my blog.
Just leave me a comment and let me know you are.
You can also share it on your blog sidebar if you'd like.
I will do a random drawing.
~ Blessings ~

ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Thank you for sharing your post at the Cottage Style Party :)
ReplyDeleteSpring greetings from Australia♥ ~Pernilla (Guest Host)
Hi Laurie! You are such a talented lady! I featured your book giveaway this week. Blessings, Mary
ReplyDeleteThese past two months I've been MIA from the blog world. It breaks my heart that I didn't know what was going on with you and at least send you an encouraging word. You are so very special to me and so many here online.
ReplyDeleteRecently our pastor gave a sermon on falling into Jesus arms and trusting he will catch you. He called my 6' 4" son up to the front and asked Tyler if he trusted him to catch him. Tyler said yes and turned around. When the pastor said "ready," Tyler took a peek around before letting himself fall back into our pastors arms. Of course the congregation laughed at Tyler's peek, but we all got the point. The fear is just you peeking back to see that Jesus is really there. He will catch you. You hang in there and keep trusting my friend.
Hugs,
Deborah
