I do have a funny story about that though. My Ex didn't really have a well developed sense of humor , but in church one time an older lady (friend of my Mom's) was sitting behind us- when we stood for a hymn she dropped her bulletin and it fell on the pew where my Ex would sit. She reached down to pick it up just as he started to sit... when his bottom came in contact with her hand, he shot straight up like a rocket and turned with such a surprised look on his face!!! Much like this one- . She quickly smiled and said "Didn't anyone tell you what a friendly church we are?" LOL. It still makes me laugh some 20 years later!!

LOLOLOL I am laughing so hard

I have something to share..........


I just had the most awesome thing happen.........huge smiles........

A co worker and casual friend just came down to talk to me..........His father in law just passed away and he wanted to talk to me about his grief, ask how he can best support his wife and I think to just let go of some of the stress, anger and confusion he has inside.......

We had a great talk.......God was speaking.......

He is not a christian..........he asked me to pray for him

I am smiling so huge as I write this with tears in my eyes.........

God amazes me so much..........the way he allows our experiences to soften our hearts towards others in pain.........

Thank you so much father for allowing me to be in the position to be such a comfort to M........

I am smiling because God trust me enough to use me in the lives of others..........

Praise be to the God & Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion & the God of all comfort,who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 2 Cor 1:3-4 NIV

You know this verse is really speaking to me at the moment.........you know what just accured to me?

God comforts us so that we in turn can comfort those in the situations from the comfort we ourselves have received from God.......

As I read that God whispered........Mike doesn't know me Dawn.......though I wanted to I could not have comforted him.........So I chose you to do so for me.

Wow....look at the verse...........he comforts us so that we can comfort others with what he has given us..........

I never really thought of it in terms of someone who doesn't know God won't receive the comfort from him except through people comforted by him directly.

WOW I don't know if this is making sense quite yet.....but it is sure something powerful God is showing me..........very cool

Smile worthy for sure...

Amen!

That is what it is to witness. It's amazing how God uses us ... and so many times we don't ever realize it. And when we do ... WOW!! It gives me chills of happiness!!

God using our experiences to help others.

God used your experiences, Dawn, as you have just made it to the first anniversary of your own father's passing.


So, let me ask you this ... does that bring even more comfort to your heart? To see how God has used your experience?

This verse comes to my mind. It can be used in many circumstances, and I see it here:

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose - Romans 8:28

God never ceases to amaze me........

This morning driving in I saw two baby deer. They ran in front of me and jumped a fence.........A smile broke out on my face..........Victorious came to mind.

I got to work.......checked my post on crosswalk but really couldn't focus.......All I could think of was the deer and how when I saw them I felt as though I was a deer as well.......jumping the fences of life so freely and with such grace.

I knew there was a verse in the bible where it talked about the feet of a deer........I looked it up........WOW

The verse is Samuel 22:21

He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he enables me to stand on the heights.

I never just read one verse.......I am a big believer in reading the whole chapter of any verse I look up.......God speaks to me more powerfully that way.

WOW God really spoke to me.......what a powerful chapter........so timely for me.....

The description of God.......His empowering of us to defeat our enemies........victory the promise.........wow

I am sure smiling today..........

Thank you SPORTSmom_4_life. It is always nice when what you share gives hope to others.........but I admit I don't' really share them with thoughts of others.....I mostly post for selfish reasons..........If I don't tell someone.........even if it is strangers online I seriously think I could burst wide open.......

Have you ever felt that way........so moved by something God said or did that if you didn't share it you would explode?

I am such a dork..........I am sitting here smiling big time and laughing out loud at the mental picture of me exploding for pure love, joy and passion LOL.....What a mess that would be...........good thing I can open the cap a little and release some of the pressure here. LOLOLOL

I LOVE IT!!! I am a dork too. Or so I'm told, by my teen daughter. But, I wouldn't have it any other way. (I don't think she would either...)

BEING A DORK MAKES ME SMILE!!!

Conversations with God about little things make me smile.

I love his company.......and it is so nice, when trying to get this big old body to move.........I don't have to have to try to speak.........God hears my heart and mind and speaks to me the same way.

Today our conversation was on turtles, running, races, and a deep discussion on relationships.

I smiled as we talked of how sometimes beginning to see a relationship clearly enables you to realize the relationship was far from what you thought it was.....and it sets you free.

Have you been there Lisa????

I have been thinking a lot about relationships both with men and women in my life.......

In prayer meeting last month, one of the women, saw a picture from God for me.

In the picture I was a little girl of 7 or 8. God, my heavenly father, was putting on my coat, gently brushing my hair back and sliding on a hat. With tender hands he tied the ribbon under the hat into a bow.........The whole picture was that of my father preparing to take me from where I was to somewhere different.

I can't get the imagine painted by her words out of my mind.

I have never had a relationship, with a friend or romantically, where such tenderness and concern for me and my well being was displayed.

It seems I am usually the one putting on the coat on others.........and the thought of being the one who's coat and hat are put on makes me smile so much.

The imagine makes me smile........big time

Because I know without a doubt not only is God preparing me to go somewhere else .......he is also taking me to a place where I will meet and build friendships with others who will care for me as gently and lovingly as he is as he prepares me to go.

God makes me smile.........His way of sharing his love and plans makes me smile........

People bold enough to hear from God and share make me smile.
