Saints Alive !!

I have been blessed with some beautiful people in my life. God has placed them there every turn in the road. Many have passed on and I look so forward to seeing them eventually when my earthly life's journey is complete. But, thankfully, many are available to me still, some are my friends, some family, some I get to see on a regular basis, others I simply get to touch base with occasionally. But right now I want to share about my friends June and Sharon.

They are the most awesome two individuals that I have come to love and respect at my church. They are wonderful role models to say the least. June, the mom and Sharon, her daughter teach us lessons of love and service through everything they do. Most recently, they are heading up a project at church for the Franklin Graham's shoebox ministry. It's called Samaritin's Purse and sends shoeboxes filled with toys, school supplies and other goodies to children around the world.

Today I will be going to town to shop for and then wrap a few boxes. I am sad to say I won't be able to attend the churchwide wrapping tomorrow night. That is a disappointment for me. I know they'll have a great time at church getting these boxes ready.

If you get the opportunity to contribute to this worldwide project, make an effort to join. I believe it to be a really special way to minister to children around the world.

I'm looking forward to taking a walk later today when the rain is over. I'm really enjoying the neighbors I see along the way.

I hope you got to see part of the CMA's last night. I continue to find inspiration in performers like Brad Paisley, George Strait and Trace Adkins. Too bad we didn't get to see my other favorites, Josh Turner and Craig Morgan, perform. You can see Josh Turner in the movie about Billy Graham's life, which I believe is out or will be out soon.

Have a great day, luv, Susan
