Am I Loved???

    I was feeling overwhelmed today and I just started to wonder, "How do I know I'm loved for you I am?" 
My son comes to me, "Mom will you come and help me color this picture that I drew? I want it to be just you and me!!"   Of course my daughter wanted me to do the same with her as well. I did take time to color the picture they drew with each one. I feel it was God showing me how my children really love me and want some one on one attention (love) from mom.
     I received a very special text from my husband telling me how much he loved me and how special I am to him! Ok, yeah I had to cry. How did he know what I needed to hear since he was all the way in Raleigh, North Carolina? I know it was God working through him!  
      Another son wanted held and cuddled. I was reminded that as I was comforting and snuggling my boy and showering him with love so is Jesus holding me and showing me His Love.
       All 4 of my children love to pick flowers! For who? Me??  They sure are! My children are always picking flowers and they hand them to me saying, "I love you, Momma"
       Do I still question if I'm being loved?? Absolutely not for I know I am loved!!!

     

Are You Ready??

If You Would Die Tonight Would you be Ready??
      This has been running through my mind a lot lately. If I would die would I have done all for Jesus in my power? Would I have shared Jesus with everyone possible and not only with words but with my actions. Can others see Jesus in me?
      On Friday morning we lost a good friend and brother in Christ from our Church. It was a total shock and devastating. He was only 39 years old. Has a wonderful wife and 5 precious children. And have been doing foster care for 6 years and have touched many lives. A wonderful father and mother and 3 brothers and a sister. So this has hit very close to home and set my brain spinning.
     In a sence I understand as I have lost my wonderful father about 2 & ½ years ago and I lost a double cousin to a snow blower  accident somewhere around 16 years ago. But yet I know I cannot comprehend totally what these dear friends are going through. All the feelings, hurt & pain. Losing  such a dear husband, father, son, and brother is so painful and heartbreaking but yet no one truly understands unless they have walked in your shoes. So my heart goes out to each of the family. We all deal with death differently and that’s okay. Its just that we all become better not bitter through what God has allowed.
      Some questions I have had to ask myself lately are;
What is God expecting from me?  Am I doing all I can for those who are in need not only financially but also physically, emotionally & spiritually speaking?  What would I need or want if I were in my friends shoes? Am I willing to do all I’d need or want for others?
Do I let everyone know how special & loved they are by God?  And how God has choosen each single ONE of us as His very own Child?
       It’s with a heavy heart I write this blog. Death is all around us right now. I have a dear friend in Mississippi who is dieing of cancer. I have an Uncle who has a blood disease that causes blood clots and all they can do is give him cummerin. About a week ago a girl from the community died in a motorcycle accident after hitting a deer. My brother~ in~ law’s Grandpa isn’t doing well.
A friend from church just lost her Grandpa and now our dear brother & friend from Church has passed on.  Please pray for the Beachler family. Thanks!
        So I challenge each of you as I have been challenged recently, ”Can the World see Jesus in You? Are you ready to go if  You would die tonight?” At the end I have linked a song off of you tube Can the world see Jesus in you? Listen to the words!  
        I also want each of you to know you are very special and God loves you and most of all He cares about YOU!  YOU are God’s Child and a Joy to Him!! We have our differences but that don’t matter I still love YOU!!
