Couragous Bloger Award

I just found this sweet gift over at Living and Loving every minute of it. Thank you Corey
2. A Courageous Blogger award goes to Donetta over at A Life Uncommon and A Life Restored.

Donetta is a very courageous woman. Her bloggings of her journey through life is heart touching. Her fierce love of her family is inspiring. She strives to live the life she so deserves. I admire her very much. I am sure she also has one of these awards, but when I think of courage...I think of Donetta.

I want to pass this on to some wonderful Ladies.

Just a mom
Sometimes life takes great courage to face. My dear friend has three teen girls and one is not going so well. It takes courage to face a child who is more than challenging. She faces health issue that are scary too. This woman fostered over 30 infants adopting the sibling set she in now raising and two biological grown daughters as well. She faces things that we never dream of.

Gumbo Lilly
In a fast pace city life we often forget the courage once shown here in wild America. The Land, sky and all of life once met with courage those who honored it and live among it in harmony. Courageously herding cattle, a few sheep, raising chickens and canning jam. I live vicarious through her beauty.

Spiritually Unequal Marriage
It takes great courage to do what is right, to watch ones ways and live ones life to example love to a spouse who is not as you in faith. Strengthen community and exposing ones own limitations all in effort to have clean hands and a pure heart. Courage, humility and grace.

Laughing through the Tears
This endearing woman is a real courageous soul. She has kindly befriended me keeping me and my family close to her heart. She has a wonderful husband and children who are her arms and legs. While living full of tenacity she struggles with life long arthritis that has caused her to be a real example of faith, courage and hope. Suffering with character is a hard virtue to gain. It is in each moment of choice. She chooses well. Courage is a laurel upon her head.

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)

'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
