Usually it is fun to write Featured Blogger and introduce you to someone new. This time, it isn't fun but, it is with great joy that I introduce you to a wonderful blogger. Mamasmurf of Moving the Mountain has gone to be with Jesus.
It is with loving memory that we have made Chrissy the Featured Blogger this week. Her friends in the UK have also written a post about her going Home. Please keep Rob (Papasmurf), Deiniol (Littlesmurf), and all of Chrissy's family and friends in your prayers.
As always, a meme is a fun way to get to know another blogger. Chrissy was taking part in the Homeschool Memoirs Weekly Meme. This meme theme was All About You.
A few of the following posts were a series of blog assignments that Chrissy worked through. They are pretty amazing and focused on many blessings that Chrissy had, even in sickness and in health.
Chrissy had only one child and he was a great blessing to her. She wrote this letter to her son letting him know just how terrific he was.
As you have probably figured out by now, Chrissy lived in the UK. She was born in Wales and considered herself to be Welsh, not British. Still, she took a closer look at what being British meant to her.
I think this post, Slow Dance, is something Chrissy would want all of us to remember.
I can't wait to meet you in Heaven Mamasmurf! You were a good blog friend to so many.

I am thankful her suffering is over and she is with Jesus ... but I've been praying for her for a long time and I am very sad for her family.
Thank you for honoring her on HSB. I will pray for her husband and son.

We do miss her!
