Birthday Love From My Big Sister

"Happy Birthday to my little Sister!!! I remember a snowy Saturday night many years ago. Daddy drove Mama in the slippery snow storm to Baptist Hospital. I waited with Daddy till the early hours of Sunday morning when you decided to make your debut!! Mama had tried a new strawberry blonde color on her hair a few days before. When I first saw you, your hair was the same color as Mama's new Clairol color!! I thought that was so funny! You were so cute and tiny and I loved you from the start!! Still do!! Hope tomorrow's extra special!!!"
I love my big sister! This is a picture of Deb with Mama!

Power of a Smile

 A smile goes a long way. It is a gift. I never take smiles for granted. Sometimes, a smile can change someone's day. Try it tomorrow....if you see a person who looks sad or frustrated or lonely, give them a big smile. Most of the time, they will give a big smile back.

Happy Birthday to my Beautiful Mom

My beautiful mom and my beautiful sister!

The Bible

I am so excited about the mini series, "the Bible", tonight on the History channel. It is produced by Mark Burnett, who produces Survivor and many other things on TV. He wanted to make a movie showing how much God has loved us from the start.
 Love your God with all of your heart and love your neighbor as yourself. It is really simple. It is positive and it doesn't say "judge your neighbor".

Love God, Love people. :)

Counting Blessings in Each Season

It is gray and snowy here.
Making us yearn for spring,
yet,
also making us want to hold on
to winter because the snow
is so peaceful
