I was wearing a green sweater and holding a paper bag their clues and they said, the Lord wants you to know that he loves you and you are his treasure, you are not forgotten! I was so blessed that the Lord took the time to send me a personal message to confirm what I do know with all my heart!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14967427465842488511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-23991617235106420622011-04-03T16:17:48.293-04:002011-04-03T16:17:48.293-04:00I would love to have this book to read...I looked ...I would love to have this book to read...I looked for it last week in the bookstore and they were sold out at that time! My Bible Study this week is from 2 Samuel where King David asked GOd "Who am I that you are mindful of me and my family". Wow, what a statement of gratitude!!!!

We were SO GRATEFUL. But I had a hard pregnancy and was on bed rest. Dave's mom was diagnosed with cancer the day he was born. Wil was born with a tumor and had to have brain surgery. Dave had to have back surgery. His Mom died when Will has 8 weeks old. Will had horrific colic. I probably had some post partm depression (undiagnosed). It was so HARD! We started a gratitude journal and it is what got us through the hardest year of our lives. Forcing ourselves to focus on God's blessings in our lives rather than the tragedies saved us.<br /><br />Anyway, right now the blessing that comes to mind is God bringing my sweet Katie Ru into our lives. Tomorrow is the 4 year anniversary of the day I met my daughter!! Truly, I feel so very grateful for every blessing God has given me.3 Peanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124969727188599965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-24043772758774173452011-04-03T13:19:37.134-04:002011-04-03T13:19:37.134-04:00I am grateful for a second chance with my ex husba...I am grateful for a second chance with my ex husband...we are getting back together after 16 years.

You've made me think about so much in my life and made me realize that while things can get difficult and that we all struggle, everything always gets better. <br />When I first started reading your blog (thanks to my mother (: haha) I was struggling with how to explain to some younger girls in my youth group about purity and why people wear purity rings. You had just posted something about how all your daughters have the rings and knowing that there were these gorgeous girls who still had fun even with abstaining from sex really helped me finish explain the next week. I'm a few months shy of 19 now and still a virgin myself and didn't start dating until I was 17. I didn't even have my first kiss until then either! So knowing you were another mom out there encouring all her girls near the same age as me helped me keep it all up.<br />Soo...long story, sorry, thank you for everything you write. It all brings light into my life. Keep up the good work and God bless (:<br />much love,<br />SarahS.Graciebellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05820928121829351855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-45050113890620169482011-04-02T11:38:19.286-04:002011-04-02T11:38:19.286-04:00Although I don't have all of the things that I...Although I don't have all of the things that I "want," I'm grateful that I have what I "need."

Thank you for sharing the key to what could possibly and hopefully help me find my way. <br /><br />So, I'm grateful for you and your love for God and how you share it so peacefully with all your readers/family.

I have been savoring every moment of life her in Colorado for the last 3 weeks. My husband just accepted a job offer and we are waiting to hear if it is Richmond, Va or Charlotte, NC. Well, I have to be honest. Before he was offered this position, I really was not content with where we live here in Denver, Co. Too cold for this southern girl...houses did not have enough character to suit my crown molding, gingerbread liking. Too dry, too close to the in laws, etc etc. When the seriousness of the job offer finally sunk in, I realized what I do have here is priceless. A Christian school that I adore and cannot fathom finding one that compares. My daughter's horse at my in laws amazing ranch. Her dear friends that are her long lost siblings, I swear. My dear friends that I cannot imagine not seeing on a weekly basis. So, I will forever have more gratitude in my daily life. I never realized how much I took for granted. Thank you Paige, for your blog, your honesty and just sharing your life!ejshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14579386809867548165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-70032877400971468032011-04-01T19:15:54.646-04:002011-04-01T19:15:54.646-04:00Grateful for my mom...I am 37 and she still "...Grateful for my mom...I am 37 and she still "helps" me out of things...Eun Jin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262390375867395796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-77007521277278766042011-04-01T18:35:27.596-04:002011-04-01T18:35:27.596-04:00So grateful
