I have SO much to be thankful for today! If you were here on Tuesday—-you would have noticed our big GRIN’s! We celebrated the ACTUAL birthday of our number 5 grandson! Jake!
Thank you LORD for a safe—healthy delivery!
Now for the surprise!…..Ta-da! Saturday is Iris’ birthday—so says a little birdie…and we are joining in to wish her a Happy Birthday!—so put a sweet note on your blog if you get a chance and tell our sweet hostess of Thankful Thursday—Happy Birthday!

Iris, we love you so much! All the best wishes and prayers for a God filled year ahead is yours from me to YOU! May the LORD surround you with love notes from Him every where you look! May you see the love in the little things…as well as the obvious! May you be encouraged and filled to overflowing with His precious Holy Spirit and may that same Spirit bubble over onto each individual that visits your blog! May your heart of love and inspiration be contagious to all who know you personally, and all who visit your “dwelling of words” (the blog).
I love you and am so GLAD in my heart that the LORD brought me here!!!
Happy Birthday girl and MANY MANY More!
Ya’ll go here to visit my sweet friend–Iris!
