 Yep...I'm excited.  I am going to see my little girl in a bit.  The boss said I can leave at 12:00 and my baby girl and baby boy are packed and ready.  I hope everyone has a wonderful Friday.  Today is Friday the 13th...what a GREAT day!!!!  So much to look forward to.  I love y'all!!!!!!  


I have been doing "love" stories from the Bible this week, but I wanted to tell of a story that is dear to me. 

A woman was very very bitter and angry and it showed toward people.  She had become almost a hermit with the exception of going to work and sometimes going to church.  Her life was miserable and therefore, she exhibited that miserableness in her attitude.  One day, she had a life changing experience.  She realized just how her life affected so many others and how she was not an easy person to be around.  She realized just how miserable she was and was envious of people who smiled and seemed genuinely happy. 

She met a woman who seemed to love everyone.  This lady was always smiling and always happy.  While talking with this lady who seemed abnormal due to this love, the lady asked her how she could love even the most unlovable people.  She told her that once you TRULY had Christ in your life, you could love them.  They might not be your best friend, but you could love them through Christ. 

To make a long story shorter, I asked God to change ME.  I asked Him to take the bitterness and hate from me and replace it with love.  Guess what...He DID.  I have had people tell me that I cannot love as I say I do.  I laugh inside and think of the woman who told me many years ago..."once you truly have Christ in your life, you can love the most unlovable".  Yep...this is me.  I don't know why I am telling this today, but I want you all to know that I sincerely love you and pray for you daily.  God can and will change hearts.  I know this because He changed mine.
