The Blogger Reflection Award

The Blogger Reflection Award Hosted By Jocelyn Dixon


As for my award, it is called The Blogger Reflection Award. Why? The reason for the title is because this award should make you reflect on five bloggers who have been an encouragement, a source of love, impacted you in some way, and have been a Godly example to you. Five Bloggers who when you reflect on them you get a sense of pride and joy... of knowing them and being blessed by them.

This award is for the best-of-the-best so consider who you pick, carefully. This award should not be given to just anyone. If you're going to do the award don't just write a few words and slap it on your blog. Write real thoughts about these bloggers and what they've been to you, and if the bloggers you pick have already been given the award, don't be afraid to give to them again. They deserve it as many times as it's given.



Gumbo Lily
This sweet Woman opens her heart and home to us. Living a life many of us dream of with great tenacity and endurance. Her love of life shows through her daily posts. The beauty of the world around her is made evident in her skilful photogrphy.
Sliding Down The Scales
Denise is a very soft spoken woman who is all about supporting others and sharing wonderful practical information. Its like a refresher course in healthy living. Along with devotionals that make the nibbler stop and reflect on the moment and heal rather than just stuff those feelings away, and heal with the scriptures applicable.
Just A Mom
My Dear friend is a woman worrier who is in the midst of three teenagers. All adopted, One by One,from infancy through the nightmare of being in the foster care role,all from one troubled birth mother. She fought for 10 years keeping these sisters together and in one fine celebration gave them all one name through adoption. She fostered over 30 infants paying a greater cost than few of us have endured in our roles. She is a woman who although rough around the edges at times examples Gods love in her uniqueness
Life in the Midst of Writing
My Dear friend of so many years now, It was she who many years ago told me about blogging,but it all fell to the way side until "just a mom" got me going again with the help of "are we there yet mom?"
How very blessed I am to have this Woman in my life. A fellow home scholar of three, Missionary and Author (yes published!) She has shown me the tenacity of sticking with your vision and not letting anything distract you from its final completion. She too is a mother of souls. She has been a constant in my life.

Sweet Donetta,
I also enjoy coming here to read something new every day. Thank you for the award. I am honored and humbled. It is another reminder of the ways that I serve my King and my Friend - by befriending and encouraging women to be who God made them to be, and to walk in the good desires of their hearts.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

By Maya Angelou

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"

Zephaniah 3:17 NLT
"For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you. He is a mighty savior. He will rejoice over you with great gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will exult over you by singing a happy song."
