~THANK YOU TRACY & LEA!~

I was quite surprised, honored and humbled today! I wasn't expecting one, much less two of the Arte y Pico (meaning “Peak of Art”) award. I received these awards from Tracy at My Cup Runneth Over and from Lea at Shabby Olde Potting Shed.

I enjoy Tracy's blog for many reasons. Tracy has a heart for the Lord. If you visit her blog, which I suggest you do, you will be uplifted. There are times in life you meet someone whom you are instantly drawn to. Tracy is that person for me. Thank you, Tracy. Not just for this award, but for who you are, as well as all your prayers and encouragement you send my way! You inspire me to be a better person.

Next, I enjoy Lea's blog for many reasons also. Lea also has a heart for the Lord. You will also receive a blessing if you visit Lea. There hasn't been a time that I've visited Lea and didn't come away with a smile and a lot of times laughing. Lea, you truly are an inspiration to me. Thank you for this award, as well as all your prayers and for just being the woman you are!

As a recipient of these awards, I have been asked to share each award with five blogs that bless me. I have chosen:

Sheryl at The Perch
Christina at All That Blog
Darlene at Everything to Me aka Puff's Pocket
Kim at ~Seasons of My Heart~
Peggy at Mazes, Messes, Miracles...aMAZING GRACE

Tracy at My Cup Runneth Over
Susan at Forever His
Melanie at The Fruits of the Spirit
Angie at Knightly News
Pia at My Life's Journey

All of these women have touched me in many different ways. They are all Godly women who
I've never met in person, though I would love to and will ONE DAY. If it is not this side of heaven, then it will be the other.

I visit these blogs frequently and I always leave being blessed! There is no "thank you" big enough for all your kind words and prayers for me, my family and most especially the prayers for my sister who is fighting an aggressive cancer.

There are so many other blogs that I adore and mean so much to me. This was certainly a difficult decision!
