Ok ladies AND gentlemen................................It's time for our daily dose of encouragement

I for one need some AND I'm positive we could all use some. I woke up feeling a bit blue today for whatever reason..........then I heard about Tony Snow's cancer recurrence.......................then I read Rhonda's post and that got me thinking.........................................L ook out guys........I was thinking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here goes.

Let's post some encouraging stuff for all to read. Let's post what we have to be thankful for and how awesome our lives are REGARDLESS of the "bad" stuff that comes our way. You know, bad stuff comes everyone's way. Not always cancer...........but something. No life is perfect - no life is with out troubles. God gave us breath - God gave us the ability to serve Him by serving others. Serving others brings such joy and reminds us that we have so much to give and people have so much to give to us. Life is about encouraging one another along this journey. We all have a journey - each of us and it's up to each of us to encourage and love one another.

I've been so incredibly blessed. The Lord has blessed me with the most awesome husband (who is my bestest friend in the whole dang world). He's been my encouragement and support (next to the Lord Himself) throughout this cancer journey BUT also in our entire 28 1/2 years of marriage. We have 2 wonderful sons, 2 loving daughter in laws and 2 grandchildren who are the light of our lives. Oops, almost forgot our Murray. He is our 6 1/2 year old Sheltie who is scared of his own shadow SO he isn't the most encouraging creature on the planet BUT he definitely has that unconditional love to offer.

So SMILE everyone

Sure, maybe we have or had cancer BUT that's nothing compared to all the awesome blessings we've all been given.

Hugs and love to all - (Now it's your turn to share)
