~ Award Time ~

My sweet SSiC Bobbie gave me this VERY honorable award.  Thank you Bobbie. ((BIG HUG)) You are the best mirror twin a girl could ever have !


I have tried to keep " my words as sweet as honey". ( as I would instruct my sons to do)  If it be sharing on my blog or leaving encouraging words on my SS'sIC blogs. Now I get to give it to  five  gals that have words that are sweet as honey.

I award ....

Carol from ThreeLittleLadies~ for she is my oldest friend here in blogland.  She has constantly given me such wonderful words of encouragement.  I got to meet here IRL ( in real life) and what you see on her blog is who she IS.

WithHim4ever~ has been such a blessing to me the last month.  We are teaching the 1st year of Heart of Wisdom and I get to encourage each other along the way this year. I love when I find SSiC that we get to pray for each other. Plus her ((Brazilian Hugs)) would melt anyones .

jenn4him~ has been a contant encourager for me.  I love all her good mornings and good nights and all the notes in between.  She can be silly or serious and I just love her to bits.

acceptancewithjoy~ is another long time blog friend.  She is someone who gets me thinking and leaves such deep and encouraging notes when she visits.  I love following along her adoptions journey. She has been a big blessing.

JulieAnne~ is a new friend.  I am so encourage by this Southern Gal to this Northern Gal ( me ) .  I just feel so loved when she leaves me notes on my posts or cbox.  She is such a encouragement with her  devotionals on her blog.

Now Connie gave me



Thank you Connie  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...

Debbie
She has been so encouraging with her comments and posts.  I always feel in a better mood after her visits or visits to her blog.

Sombra
I love how she has so much to think about on her blog.  I enjoy reading her posts about the ancient paths of our Lord.

BChsMamaof3
I have to say she being a fellow BC'er and she has the most amazing pics of Vancover Island that I just love going to her blog.  AND she has so many neat posts about being a homesteader.  She is such a blessing.

Tiany
Now that the Homeschool Open House is done and she can take a deep breath .   I would like to say thank you for all the that she did on the Open house and now she is hosting Meandering Mondays.  I love how she is linking us homeschool moms and breaking down the walls so we can meet other ladies with the same out look.  Big (((HUG))) my SSiC.

Now last but NOT least is Sharity .  She is someone who I have to pick b/c she is soooooooooo sweet.  Plus she has the task of raising 2 godly men for our Lord.  I love how she is just so creative with scrapbooking and I hope to be learning more how to use Scrapbook Max ( a computer program for scrapbooking)  .  So I know WHO I am going to be picking her brain for tips and techniques.

Now I have to say you all deserve a award and please feel appreciated for contributing into my life .  Here is a BIG (((CYBER HUG)))

God Bless my SS'sIC

Mary, you definitely deserved the award! You are always so sweet and cheerful to all of us bratty and not so bratty sisters!

This is a rare honor for me since I am known for my bratty ways. You blessed me greatly today. Is this a positive affirmation kind of thing? Like if we say I'm nice, it might actually happen someday? Cuz my kids and husband would be indebted to you for life! hee hee!

Blessings to you dear sister!

Oh, thank you for the sweet & uplifting words. I can honestly say this is all do to my Mother. For if she is a active role model still today. I'm just going to have to give Mom a call "let her know the uplifting kind word" you said. She'll be proud to know this.
The one thing with my blog I wanted the most. Is to feel at home, as if your walking into my real home. I'm so glad to know you feel that peace with me.
Blessings my Dear SSIC,
Debbie

My dear sweet Canadian friend, you are very kind, thank you for thinking of me and my hugs. You have been a blessing sent from the Lord to me lately. I hope our friendship will grow and grow. Congratulation on the award you deserve it. I have felt your loving encouragement.
My day was very busy, I am so tired I don't know I have the energy for a post. I have some things to tell everyone about my family and trip.
((((brazilian hugs)))))
P.S. Did you get your e-books printed?

Handsome and I




First , I am a daughter of the King almighty and a a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north. We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
