Shame on me.....

That is just how I felt about 5 minutes ago.....this week has been a dandy to say the least- yesterday I was on my way to buy our new dryer (yes- the other one didn't make it) when my car started to act up- went to the auto parts store and got my WONDERFUL friend Tim to fix the car- woke up this morning and Kaylee was watching the TV and POW- it went out too..... and I was doing the "go figure- mumble mumble - gripe gripe- like I wanted to buy this right now" and then I sat down for my morning coffee and thought I would check on my bloggy friends and my "Woe is me" turned into "Help them Lord and Thank you Lord for my blessings". We have some friends whom are in the process of adopting a little girl and as I read her latest 2 blogs I (Mrs. Non-emotional-never-cries-wonder-where-my-heart-is) was brought to tears. They are some of the BEST people you will ever meet and the testimonies they will have from this blessing that has been given to them will be more than silver and gold (and tv's and dryers) So shame on me for complaining..... and Praise the Lord for being just what He is...... my Lord..... our Lord......

I know what you mean. I have felt so guilty for things I take for granted after reading her blog! I have sat and cried reading them.

So we all have Slick and Crystal to thank for crying happy tears every morning! PTL!

I think HE - who does such an amazing job of orchestrating life - has not only brought this beautiful child to Slick and Crystal, He has brought a renewed awareness to ALL of us that we occasionally (okay, yea, on a regular basis!) allow our priorities to become skewed. A bologna sandwich with the ones I love in less than designer clothes with the Spirit of the Lord dwelling with us - we are rich, and thankful beyond measure. And repentant that we had to be reminded in such a graphic way. Thank You Lord for loving us enough to remind us while you were giving little Resiana a good home. And I love you all and thank you for brightening my days in this blogworld!!!
