A First...

Lemonade award! It is for people that have a positive attitude, show gratitude, and are upbeat about situations and when given lemons, make lemonade.

Thank You, Alaina!
I found this so humbling as I read what this award was about.
Sadly, there are many days I chose to take a bite out of the lemons,
rather than make lemonade :-).

The Lord has done some amazing things in my life and heart in the last five years.
Somewhere along the way, (through Mom actually), I met
Rebecca
She inspired me to begin blogging.
My blog is my outlet, my reflections and my family, a record of lessons learned and fun moments that would have been otherwise lost in the busy-ness of life. Thank you, Rebecca!


Though I cannot remember how I found her blog, I'm so glad I did.
Victoria
Her blog has so many personal hard lessons learned and to see the Lord's grace through it all, is a reality check every time I visit.

Both of these women were the first blogs I started reading before beginning my own.
Since this is my first award I decided to pass it along to them in hopes that it will spread my love for them over the many miles that separate us.

The rules for this award are that you post the graphic for it, write a post that links back to the giver, and then pass it on to up to ten others. Leave a comment on the blogs that get the award, so they know what's happened.
