Showers of blessings!!

I am baptist, you can tell by some of my titles. Hymns pop in my head from time to time. Today just happen to be that kinda day.

I am always so grateful for the people and the places God has put in our lives. When a burden arises God never fails to have someone in our church family meet our needs. A wonderful couple in our lives met such a need today, a huge burden was lifted from us. We never want to take atvanage of our loved ones, and sometimes I still feel that way when we are given such generouse kindness.

Through out our married life R and I have been blessed beyond measure with loving people who give us a helping hand. We were given a new washer and dryer early on, a car or two and several times money. The Lord has always placed such giving people in our lives. We really hope we can give to as richly as we've been blessed. I am not saying this to boast, I want others to see how God provides!

One area that more meaningful to me is the blessing of those who hurt when we hurt. I never in my life want my loved ones to hurt, but we have those who dont wallow with us but almost just have kindred feelings. My mom is one of those, no magic words, but kindness and a listening ear. I was talking with my friend Cherry today, and she and I were both in tears, we have no idea why God is allowing all this "stuff" to happen, but she didn't question Him, but was feeling the same things I was, like she took my hand and walked beside me in loving support. Kind of pulling me, with out pushing me through. I love being in the family of God. If you are in the right place,He is faithful to give those loving people in your life who can be His hands and feet, to wrap their loving arms around you.

Looking on back on a lot of things Rickey and I have been through, I don't think I would change a thing! Only because we have some life long "family" I wouldn't trade for "better" days. Thank you to all my blessings in the form of our loved ones.
