I am glad to be alive everyday I wake up! And every trial has a blessing at the end of it and a lesson in the midst of it that we need to learn. Thanks! I know you view things like I do Joanne. You are such a great friend girl!! <BR/>big hugs!

I have a mermaid to pick up and they're having a special sale. I want to go when they open at 10:00.<BR/><BR/>I love you heart post. I had a heart rock I found at the beach and I carried it around for a long time. I finally lost it somewhere on the playground while I was watching my students. I used to teach. I always hoped someone would find it and feel like God gave it to them just like I did. Every time I am where there are rocks I too lock for a heart.Sometimes It's Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390399570559985407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-12113369745595373642008-07-09T22:08:00.000-07:002008-07-09T22:08:00.000-07:00beautiful post! when i was little, i had 2 little...beautiful post! when i was little, i had 2 little rocks that looked like hearts. i used to store them in my jewelry box with all my other prized possessions. thanks for reminding me of that!<BR/><BR/>~AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436870034358846845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-11309644652134294682008-07-09T21:18:00.000-07:002008-07-09T21:18:00.000-07:00Wonderful post!

I am planning a giveaway also, I just need to take my pictures.<BR/>I really love this post about the rocks. When I saw the first picture, I noticed the beautiful embroidered hankie that they were sitting on and thought you were going for a soft vs. rough texture photo. I love that they are all heart shaped by nature; have you been collecting them for a long time?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582583925813368098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472506510228723807.post-13244974529313429802008-07-09T18:03:00.000-07:002008-07-09T18:03:00.000-07:00Joanne:You are my daily dose of happiness.

A perfect way to get the point across that we need our QUIET TIME with the Lord every day!
