The spring weeks have gone by very quickly! I am enjoying the photographs I've been able to take. When I look around me, I admire God's handiwork. Don't you?
As many of you know, I love to read. On Tuesday, I received two books in the mail. Double whammy! I am excited to read these:)
My mom has been visiting a sweet sister in the hospital. They read the Bible together, pray and talk. I ask that each of you pray for her continued health and a stronger faith. I've gone to visit her twice and on those two occasions, I have seen many people who are hurting and dying. It makes me all the more thankful for the faith and salvation I have in Jesus and the health that his "stripes" have given me.
...and with his stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
My sister and I were able to spend time with our grandmother. She even cooked up one of specialties for me. Spending the afternoon with grandma is always fun!
I have been helping my mother cook. We have made stuffed shells, rice and chicken... It is wonderful practice for when I will cook for a family of my own. I am also enjoying the extra bonding time. I think bonding with our mothers is critical to our spiritual, physical and emotional growth. My mom is a great role model and someone who always encourages me. I thank God for her!
Who is an encouraging role model in your life? Who are you most thankful for? What are you thankful for?
I certainly feel blessed to be able to visit our dear sister. I am thankful for the

I treasure the moments that the LORD has allowed us to share, love and laugh together.
