Word Wednesday

I just hafta use some words!  Can't go another day without acknowledging

my first blog award:

from Jennifer over at Living a Changed Life!

Bless you, Jennifer.  What a gentle, yet powerful, encourager you are. 

Didn't realize how much I need to be encouraged to keep up my blogging.

Since I'm new at this, I will follow Jennifer's example of how to complete my  responsibities as a blog award recipient:

Acknowledge and link back to the award giver.  See above.  There's no possible way I could have waited 'til this far into the post to show off this badge of honor.  Please bear with me as I post it again:

Okay, I promise I won't do it again.  Unless I decide I want to.  hehe

Explain my blogging motivation, philosophy, and experience in 5 words.  Holy cow, who in the world came up with this one?!  Prob'ly the same person who invented Wordless Wednesday.  Today was the first time I've participated in WW and it was fun!  Oh, btw, Jennifer is the one who turned me on to WW.  Okay, 5 words:

By God's grace, I'm blogging.

Award 7 Other Bloggers-Pass the award on to 7 other bloggers whom you have recently discovered and really enjoy.  Be sure to contact the bloggers you chose and let them know about the award.

Yeah, yeah, there's more than 7.  I got carried away. 

Blame it on...

[No!  I promised I wouldn't tell this secret 'til next week.  Let me just say this, though:  I don't mind so much having gray hair now that I know this!]

Now to the magnificent 7, I mean, 8, take the award and give it to some other deserving bloggers and let them know it.

Please do yourself a favor and spend a few moments with these lovely sites. 

I promise you'll end up smiling.

May God give you the peace that passes understanding today, dear ones!

Love, Karen
