Lone Star Academy - Nice Matters Award

Dedicated to the Biblical Principle of
Deuteronomy 6:5-8

"Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates."

Sep. 4, 2007 - Nice Matters Award
Sweet Moments

Over the weekend Grandmommy at Live, Love and Learn blessed me with the Nice Matters Award! I feel very honored that she thought of me and has gifted me with this.

Here are the rules for the award:

"This award is for those bloggers who are nice people; good blog friends and those who inspire good feelings and inspiration. Also for those who are a positive influence on our blogging world. Once you have been awarded please pass it on to 7 others who you feel are deserving of this award."

While I am just getting back into blogging after a bit of a sabbatical, I have have kept up with reading several blogs. These nominated blogs are the ones that inspire and challenge me to be a better Christian, wife and mother. As a small token of my thanks I am sharing the "Nice Matters Award" with the following bloggers:

Little Bit of Everything Mama - my best girlfriend- our relationship is one of "iron sharpening iron" and I love her like a sister.

The Perils of Parenting and other Ponderings - Quiet Cajun- I have read her blog for a very long time and I am in awe of her sweet ministry Bundled in Prayer. I have also been following her family's reversal journey and pray for her often.

Life in a Shoe- Kim C.- We seem to have so much in common. We are both small town Texas girls who love reading, coffee and CHOCOLATE! I love reading her blog as it is mixed with both truth and humor. I have seen this woman under the fire for her beliefs and God has truly gifted her with the ability to speak in love and show patience to those who do not do such a great job at holding their tongues.

Higher Up and Further In- Lindafay- Although we do not use completely use "Charlotte Mason" method, I still glean so many ideas from Lindafay. If you have not read her blog I truly encourage you to check it out. She puts time and care into her posts and does a wonderful job of sharing her wisdom with others.

Dandelion Seeds- Amy- She has invested much of her time to minister to other moms by creating Clean Heart Clean Home Ministry. She started this about the time I was moving last year and it was such a blessing that motivated me right out the door! Now the Lord has led her to share her experiences with a personal emotional and financial crisis and how she is clinging to the Lord to help her through this difficult time.

Days to Come- Jeana- This is a blog I always read for comedic relief. Jeana and her husband have some of the funniest conversations I have ever heard and she is nice enough to share them with the world.

For My Children's Sake- Ali- I have always enjoyed reading her posts. She does a wonderful job of sharing pictures and details from field trips her family takes. It is such a blessing to be able to experience places we might otherwise never get to visit.

There are many more blogs out there that I read on a regular basis and they all inspire me in some way (otherwise I wouldn't read them
