My eyes immediately filled with the holy tears! He sounds much like my son, Andy. I love this idea of asking the waiter/waitress if there is something we could pray about. I can only imagine how touched I would be if I were the one serving, and someone asked that of me. I am truly looking for ways to be more genuine in living out God's grace in me. Thanks so much for sharing this!Jacquelyn Stagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04051731884653793193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-57865999061289678292009-12-10T18:25:20.640-08:002009-12-10T18:25:20.640-08:00It's SO good to connect!

Now that I know a little bit more of your heart, I am sure of it! Looking forward to more exchanges as we encourage each other to be mature women, sold out to God's purposes in all the years that lie before us.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08740950362293427086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-32779454914334067942009-12-10T16:43:02.464-08:002009-12-10T16:43:02.464-08:00Thank you for sharing your family.

Some people are scared to death of strangers. That's my background, but by the grace of God I am changing continually, and learning to love the people HE loves.<br /><br />I have a feeling you and I will be kindred spirits....<br /><br />Love,<br />DebbyDeborah Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14415814125499548149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-68604684197685891812009-12-09T09:42:18.325-08:002009-12-09T09:42:18.325-08:00Sonja,

In my "interview" (it is posted on my blog) You are one of the people I am thinking of , when I say I feel I have met some bloggers in person. I feel that way about you. I feel blessed to know you... even though it is through a box. Blessings and hugs!<br />love,<br />GwenGwendolynKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847305862839809298noreply@blogger.com
