~ Reflection Blogger Award ~



Thank you to JoAnnmoreofhim , and Plain Jane for so generously giving me The Reflection Blogger Award. (go there to find the origins of the award)

 The gal who made and started this award said that if you received the Thinking Blogger Award you can replace this with it.  B/c the TBA was not started from a very Christ like minded frame of mind. I had personally changed mine for that reason.  


The reason for The Blogger Reflection Award is to reflect on five bloggers who have been an encouragement, a source of love, impacted you in some way, and have been a Godly example to you. Five Bloggers who when you reflect on them you get a sense of pride and joy... of knowing them and being blessed by them.

 Here is my five...
Heart n Soul~
Is a long time HSB friend.  She blogs about  a lot of things that make me ask myself what I believe and she shares what she has found about whats going on in the Christian world.  I really cherrish you Denise and Thank you once again for making the Friday Show and Tell button !!! (((hugs)))


Kympossible~
Kym is such a sweet blogger friend.  I have enjoyed reading how she is homeschooling her two kids.  She has written some really reflective Godly insights that have touched my heart recently about relating nature and scripture .  Thank you and a big (((hug)))

Tiany
My sweet Tiany.  She has a wonderful blog that inspires us gals to take pride in being a Proverbs 31  Woman and not to get discouraged.  If we do she is sooooo willing to give us some encouragement.  She has 4 awesome boys just like me. (0=  Oh btw she is have the most amazing contest you ALL have to participate in !!!!


Bubbebobbie
 I am very thankful God led Bobbie to my life.  I call her my Titus 2 sister.  She is a Homeschool Mom of now two grown children.   Who has  children who are now second generation homeschoolers.   I love how she is here to encourage us in our walk with Jesus and encourages us as HS moms.  She is a prayer warrior and what a blessing she has been to me.  I also call her my twin.  I am a American who married a Canadian and moved north.  Where she is a Canadian who married a American and moved South.  There are so many things we are alike in and we have a fun sense a humor with each other. (((hugs))) my friend.

Simple Folk
This sweet friend has a amazing blog where she is constantly sharing her family history and wonderful homestead skills.  She has inspired me to wanting to make my own laundry soap. ( which I am still to do )  She shares wonderful recipes and has the sweetest spirit.  She has just recently come back to HSB and I hope you welcome her. Go HERE to say "Hi".

Now you gals get to pass it on to five wonderful people. ( if you haven't already or if you want to do it again. )

I want to say thank you to all my online friends.  All your blogs impact me and is such a joy to read.  It was nearly impossible to pick ONLY five people so please consider yourself appreciated my SS'sIC. (((HUG)))

Posted by SuzyScribbles
You always write such encouraging things. I love your tag-line: SSIC.
Oh, I actually stopped by to tell you (gulp) that I tagged you for a fun tag. Hope you don't cringe. Come over and see what it is. I found it on Heidi's blog and it look intelligent and timely.
