Another First

I did it, I linked up with a group.
AND I'm figuring out how these "button" things work too.
Ah,hahaha
Anyway, I linked up with the Soli Deo Gloria group, what a sweet little place to be!
I've been a lurker over there at different times.  I'm good at that, lurking.  Reading and absorbing all this encouragement and love from all these wonderful people I've never met.  Happy to be a lurker.
I'm learning it's so much fun joining in on these conversations and experiences though too.

It's been a month where I've needed it.  Seems like every where I turn I need to feel God's love.  The best part about that is whenever I feel the need, He meets it by sending me right where I can get a dose of that beautiful amazing grace blessing love.

Anyway, not much but a random ramble today, simply because I can.  It's gonna be one of those weeks.  Some sweet friends are saying their final good-byes to an amazing man, their grandfather.  The man that once made this house a home with his family is now also enjoying his days with Our Father.  Another family is dealing with the amazing experience of saying good-bye to their 14 year old son after a farming accident this weekend and yet finding the strength to share him with the world by blessing others with his life as an organ donor.  More work this week on finishing up the house projects of soffit and landscaping.  Friday and Saturday will find me and our school family spending time laughing in fellowship and whipping up a few dozen batches of homemade ice cream for the Tulip Time festivities in 16 days.

Every day there are a million blessings for us to count.  The hard blessings, the beautiful blessings, the blessings that bring us to our knees in pain and gratitude and the blessings that build us up in our love for our Father.

Go, enjoy your day.  It's the only Tuesday, April 17 2012 you'll ever have, so make the best of it and live every minute to it's fullest.

God is so great, so great is He!

  1. Welcome to this wonderfully rich conversation on the web! I was a lurker, too, for a very long time and finally just jumped in. The water really is fine. :-)

    I am so sorry for the losses in your life, but also grateful for the many blessings.

    I am taking your admonition to make the best of today. Thanks for the kick in the pants!

  2. Oh, Nicki! Welcome to SDG! I am so glad you are here -- your words dance upon my heart and lead me to pray for comfort and peace for these two families suffering such difficult losses. I pray blessings and that they would feel the presence of the Holy Spirit as they release their loved ones to Jesus.

    Again, so glad you are here. May you feel His blessings upon you.

  3. I'm glad you lurked, but even more glad that you've jumped in the SDG river with us! Thanks for sharing your slice of the world with us. I will be praying for your friends as they celebrate their grandfather's life.
