Beautiful Blogger Award

Mandala from Adventures in Winterland just gave me my 1st blog award!!!  I am thrilled and so grateful!! Please go check out her site - you'll love it!!  And, please offer some prayers for her.  She is going through a lot of medical testing and has some concerns right now that really need prayer.  I hope you'll join me in asking The Father for His peace, rest, and healing during such unsettling times.

Now the directions:  For the "Beautiful Blogger" award you need to thank and link to the person who gave you the award. Then pass this award to fantastic bloggers you've recently discovered.  Contact the winning blogs and let them know they’ve won. Then, state 7 things about yourself.

I'm passing the "Beautiful Blogger Award" to the following fabulous folks.  Each of these ladies has been sweet, encouraging, helpful, and even inspirational to me, each in their own way.  It's been fun reading their blogs and getting to know them. 

Congratulations on your Beautiful Blogger Award!!!
