Reflecting on God's blessings
Wednesday, June 27, 2007 at 05:09PM 
"She" is one of my oldest, best-est blogging friends (She being Carol, from She Lives). Carol is one of those kind-hearted, friendly, gracious, and generous bloggers--always ready with a word of encouragement, a humorous response, a challenging thought. She very generously and graciously shared the Blogger Reflection Award with me, which says:
The reason for the title is because this award should make you reflect on five bloggers who have been an encouragement, a source of love, impacted you in some way, and have been a Godly example to you. Five Bloggers who when you reflect on them you get a sense of pride and joy... of knowing them and being blessed by them.
I can honestly say that Carol has been all those things to me, many times over. Thank you, Carol!
Now I get the privilege of giving this honor to five more women, each of whom have impacted my life and encouraged me in my faith and who daily reflect the Love of Christ on their blogs. There are so many wonderful women bloggers who lift high the Name of Christ each day--it was really very difficult to hone this down to just five.
1. Rebecca, from Rebecca Writes
Anyone who has read this blog for any length of time knows how much I appreciate Rebecca. She's been a good friend to me for many years--long before either one of us ever heard of blogs. I've learned much from her over the years (still do!) Rebecca has a fabulous way of communicating the truths of God's word so that it is both easy to understand and thought provoking at the same time!
2. Kim, from the Upward Call
Kim is another great blogging friend. I like the way she thinks. She has a way of being very transparent that makes me think. She thinks Biblically. She reads really good books, too! Kim has a way of sending a "how are you" email right at the right time. She has encouraged me many times.
3. Elle, from A Complete Thought
Elle is a new blogging friend. Another deep, Biblical thinker. I love to read Elle's comments on blogs as much as I do her blog posts! They are always full of wisdom and grace. Elle is what I think of as a sound Christian.
4. Rosemary, from Seasonings of the Heart
Rosemary is a real kindred spirit! We share a love of quotes and Reformed theology, hymns and prayers. I see deep wisdom in Rosemary, the kind that comes from keeping her nose in the Word.
5. Leslie, from Lux Venit
Leslie is another newer blogging friend. Another encourager, Leslie can always be found sifting everything through God's Word. She asks some really good questions, and studies up and gives some really good answers, too!
There are so, so many others that I wish I could do 15 more! But I'll leave that up to the five ladies I've tapped! If any of these ladies are new to you, please do take time to visit them! You'll be glad you did!!

I'm honored, Kim. You've made my day!
Oh, Kim!
Just when I thought this day was a total bust, you come along and encourage me. Thank you!
So very well deserved, Kim!
I'm not familiar with any of your picks, so I'll go check them out!
The blessing of a head cold on its way out is only topped by this precious note. Kim, you've served as an example of wisdom and grace for my blogging on more than one occasion. With great appreciation,
My goodness, look what happens when I'm not looking! Thank you, Kim, for your sweet, kind words to me and to the others as well. You set a fine example for us. I am honored, and I thank you sincerely.
Forgot to check in to see to whom you'd passed this along. Some really nice choices in there, Kim. And thank you for your kind words.
