(Sigh)

Thank you to everyone who keeps me in their prayers. God has truly worked a miracle tonight in my life. I just want to shout from the mountain tops "God is so good!"

One of God's greatest blessings to me this evening was Eleanor's sweet little heart. When I was discouraged she hugged me and told me she loved me. Later when I put her to bed I told her how proud of her I was that she'd said her verse and the pledge of allegiance in AWANAs, and she said "I'm so proud of me too!" I told her she is such a big girl and I love her so much. I wish I could share with you all what it feels like to have her tiny hands wrapped around my neck, just like she did when she was a baby, and to just hug me so tight. I gave her a kiss and a hug and she said, "Let me give you a kiss", so I kissed her again. She said "No Mommy....let ME kiss you." And she held my face and kissed my check. My cup over flows.

I am so grateful too for my friends. Shelley really brought a smile to my face tonight. Nicole really sticks by me when things get me down. Raylene seems to know just when I need to hear "I love you". You too, Mom. Thanks for saying what you said. I feel very loved and cared for.

Funny how such a simple little children's song you've heard your whole life can touch your heart. I just loved the offertory Paul and Marlys did on Sunday. "Jesus Loves Me". He does love me. Isn't that incredible?!

He loves you too! Do you believe it? He does. And so do I!
