"You Make Me Smile" Award

Thanks Nadine for the "You Make Me Smile" award. Now I pass it on to all of you.

I have a very hard time picking certain people to award, I never want my blog to portray any favoritism, or to seem like it is in a popularity contest. So if you are reading this post today you are the recipients of this award because all of your blogs make me smile (especially if there are pictures of your happy babies on them!!!). Here is what the author wrote to go with the award:

The thing that I love most about blogging is that I learn so much about a person just by reading his/her blog. I have met MANY wonderful people with wonderful stories to tell and I am grateful every day for each person whom 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.

I got this e-mail from a friend of mine this morning, what a blessing it was for me to read. Something else to make me smile about!

Hi Deb and Shane,
I had a dream last night that we went to church and Shane was sitting
there with your little girl on his knee. It was sweet! God is at work!
Bless you! Love,
Kim
