YOU MAKE MY DAY

Kasie, our good friend in Tennesse, from The Chronicles of the Willi, has honored us with the "You Make My Day" Award. Thank you so much Kasie! Now we are supposed to pass this award on to five other blogs that make our day. Drumroll please . . .


The first blog I ever read regularly was Living With Leukemia , the blog of our dear friend Amy Martin Wilhoite. Amy is now with her precious Savior and we miss her terribly. Amy's writings were always honest, edifying, and excellently crafted, revealing a beautiful soul. If you haven't been to her site, it is definitely a blessing. Her husband, Brandon, is currently working on a book of her journals.

We have been honored to know Colleen Moeller for a long time as well. She is the epitome of sunshine. Her blog, Prayer Basket- the Journey Continues, was also started in response to her diagnoses of cancer. Colleen and her family reveal a depth of faith and love that is nothing short of miraculous. Her every word brings glory to God and encouragement to me.

We've know Candace English Jacobson since she was about 5 years old. She has always been creative and her blog, Gentlewood Cottage, is one more example of her many gifts. There you will find some exceptional photography, as well as Candace's wise and witty comments. It has been fun to watch Candace turn into the lovely woman she is.

Mary Ueland is another amazing person, combining more gifts and talents than I can begin to list. What is so special about her blog though, (other than her humility) is the depth of insight and commitment she brings to serving Jesus with every action. I am always challenged and convicted by her blog, At His Feet.

This last entry isn't really a blog, but rather a family anomaly. It does qualify as a site that "makes our day". The BUB (Box Under the Bed Online Museum) is a collection of found objects (specifically lighters) that was started by Keith's sisters, Donna, Margie, and Rhonda. It has evolved into a great and amusing, free family pasttime. The website carefully chronicles many family events by posting the story of each lighter's history, along with a photograph and a carefully cataloged identifying number. The BUB currently has a holding of over 3000 lighters. You too can join the illustrious group of contributors, just by finding your own little "objet du corbeille" (lighter). Spoiler: If you visit this important site, be sure to hold your curser over the "box" and also click on the red button of the lighter (try that multiple times).
