On my flippy calendar...

To love a person is to learn
the song that is in their heart,
and to sing it to them when they
have forgotten.


That says a lot, doesn't it. I have spent the better part of the morning cleaning up a very dirty kitchen from having a few sick kids this weekend and not feeling the best myself. ..it seemed to take f-o-r-e-v-e-r just to tame the dishes.I am sure there are mama's nodding in agreement to how long it takes to clean up after sickness runs its course in a family. While cleaning I have been rolling the above saying over and over in my mind.

I am blessed.

For the most part I have several women in my life who support me and sing back to me how strong I am when I am feeling weak. Sometimes, I am the one singing to them.Life can just get hard, can't it? I cannot imagine walking through it without support and my faith.

The other day the flippy calendar said this-

Happiness is a sunbeam...
When it strikes a kindred heart,
like the converged lights upon a
mirror, it reflects itself with
redoubled brightness. It is not
perfected until it is shared.
Jane Porter

I am hoping today that you have a friend encourage you and you in turn get to encourage another whether by smile, hug or an encouraging word.
