You Make Me Smile Award

Posted in Encouragement

Sheryl at Taking The Challenge  given me the "You Make Me Smile Award." What a fun award! What is even more fun is I get to pick 10 more people to give it to. There are so many bloggers that make me smile.

Thank you, Sheryl. You make me smile too!

"This is what the person that created this award says about it- the thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading their blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell,and I am grateful every day for each person that I have the pleasure of crossing paths in life with.

I wanted to create something special for the top ten people who have inspired me through their blogging; the stories they tell, and the lives that they lead with grace and dignity. I visit their blogs for inspiration and encouragement.Although there are MANY people I want to give this award to at this very moment, I am going to choose ten bloggers:

Please grab your badge and wear it(with a smile) proudly, and pass it on because you inspire and encourage me, thank you. So, now it is my turn to pass it on. "

**Don't forget to pass it on to 10 more bloggers.

Belinda at !!Blessed By Bunches!! Belinda has a fun way with words. Her posts are honest, fun, encouraging and inspiring.

Jodi at Homegrown Thoughts. Oh my goodness... Jodi is just a hoot. (Plus she's my buddy for getting into trouble with!) I enjoy her posts. She writes encouraging post as well as finding great links to other encouraging blogs.

Kelly at Three Hearts for Home. Kelly is always telling me that I make her smile, but her sweetness, truthfulness, and her sincerity inspire me and also makes me smile. In her genuineness she is an encouragement to many.

Jo Ann at Beit Midrash Homeschool. Jo Ann has been a wonderful online friend for a number of years. Her willingness to allow Christ to lead her in all parts of her life, not just homeschooling is very refreshing. I just have to think of my dear friend and I smile.

Lynn at Eclectic Education. She shares her daily happenings at home with her two sons. She cares for her fellow bloggers and keeps a prayer journal so she can pray for them.

Ali at My God Given Mission Field. Ali tells fun stories about her children. She also post great, fun pictures that make me smile. She is encouraging and honest. Plus the picture with her children with the sunflowers is adorable!

Trish at MamaBugs' Mountain View Christian Academy. Trish's husband is in the Air Force. Thank you, for what you do Trish for you support of your husband! I am very grateful for our military. You are an inspiration!

Don't worry the other 3 are on the way!

Thank you so much for making my Monday that much better with this sweet award. If there is anyone that makes me smile it is you dear sis! I'll never forget being laid up with my broken leg and your sense of humor about the "toesies" was a breath of fresh air. I know it is one of our favorite inside jokes now, and your sense of humor is a blessing. I say . . . back at ya girlfriend!! YOU MAKE ME SMILE!

Love you,
<>< Kelly

This is the first blogging award I've received. I am so humbled. And honored...especially for the reason you chose me. I can't tell you how much that means to me..so often military wives and family members go unacknowledged. We happily and quietly serve behind our heroes, and just keep doing what's needed; just as they keep serving our country.
Thank you again...
