I found myself having unrealistic expectations and always waiting for WOWS from God and Hallmark moments with my family. I have learned that the <BR/>simple unexpected moments in my life bring me the most joy. Seeing my boys exchange a quick hug, a beautiful bird on my feeder,or running into an old friend are all signs of God's constant presence in my life. Looking at life this way has made me a much happier person. Although I'm still working on Christmas. I still become a complete Martha Stewart psycho during this season!!! God has given you a beautiful gift so keep up the good work.<BR/>Love and Blessings, ChristineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-51670196713470593652008-10-01T22:18:00.000-04:002008-10-01T22:18:00.000-04:00Kelli,Thank you for being REAL.

Thank you for allowing Jesus to minister to others through your pain. He is the one that will pick us up and help us to move onward and upward, forgiving us, and showering His grace upon us. That’s what keeps me going!<BR/><BR/>Love, DebDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478718571463011980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-14791559177633293662008-10-01T13:20:00.000-04:002008-10-01T13:20:00.000-04:00Powerful writing!

I love the extended metaphor perfectly inspired by Scripture, as well as the rich theological insight into each moment of the weekend.<BR/><BR/>Most of all, it encourages the reader to see God present and active in the workings of his or her own life. Very cool.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for blessing me with this blog post.<BR/><BR/>Romans 15:13,<BR/><BR/>JustinUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305185161890481438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-29173901275180385982008-10-01T09:36:00.000-04:002008-10-01T09:36:00.000-04:00Hey Kelli, loved it.

I feel oddly vindicated. Of course, your presents were in an actual trash bag, so I guess I'm still on the hook for this one. I'll also take the heat for the football game distraction - seriously, the game just happened to be on and very visible from our table. And, as I've already explained to Kelli (who has become quite the Nittany Lion fan herself over the years), the words, "Hey, Mac - turn off that Penn State game, will ya?" will never EVER pour from my lips!

Thank you for sharing that experience.<BR/><BR/>May the Lord richly embroider your day!<BR/><BR/>PS-I loved "Fireproof"!<BR/><BR/>PPS-I can identify with the trash story. EARLY one morning, about 10 years ago, we were traveling 13 hours to celebrate Christmas with our extended family. I had gifts "hidden" from my two-year-old daughter in a black trash bag. Although I had explained to my husband which bag was trash (to be left at the curb on our way out!) and which was "treasure", guess what ended up in the trunk of our car?! :-)Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10116648093204950397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-82715791973225386272008-09-30T14:54:00.000-04:002008-09-30T14:54:00.000-04:00Thanks Kelli....you know just when and what to say...Thanks Kelli....<BR/>you know just when and what to say for me to remember just who I am.<BR/>I am also one whohas a tattered pile of clothes.<BR/>There is also a story which came to my mind about a tattered quilt, when I find it I'll send it to you.<BR/>Thanks for letting us know that we need God's constant with us, close and warm in our hearts and lives.<BR/>So true are your words.....<BR/>Blessings and Love,<BR/>PeggyPeggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531332561138496420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-78026726398016044902008-09-30T14:20:00.000-04:002008-09-30T14:20:00.000-04:00When we see all of the tatters of life piled high,...When we see all of the tatters of life piled high, how amazing it is to know that Jesus sees that beautiful quilt!<BR/><BR/>Such a rich piece, Kelli--thank you for sharing so much!Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.com
