"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Amazing KIDS!!

I am so blessed with the kids that GOD has put into my life and allows to cross my path.

I presently live with four of the BESTEST ones ever. Every day no matter what I smile, laugh, or am touch deep within my heart with something at least one of them does. Truly the best example of the GIFT of LOVE this Season is about.

This week it has been the little moments with many of them that stand out in my heart.

Tuesday night, I was blessed by finally meeting Emily Graves, but truly blessed when she handed me a picture she had just drew for me. It is up in my room right now. She is a true blessing and gift from GOD.

Wednesday night, I had to drive home another car while my is getting fixed. It is a pick up truck. When I walked outside to leave all the kids in the neighborhood were in the back end singing songs. Boy did that make me smile and warm my heart. I also met a very cute and awesome girl at dinner and enjoyed my time with her and her dad.

Then today, my class is very much going to be missed. They write on everything we do how much they love me and will miss me, but that isn't what makes me smile. They have memorized 2 Timothy 1:1-2:13............today they didn't recite it as a class but each one did it individually. Wow, these little guys know it. I know GOD was smiling brightly above. Can any of you recite that much? It is gonna be hard and sad to say good bye tomorrow, but GOD is in it.

Also, one of the girls in my class is growing her hair to donate to Locks of Love. We were talking about it and I got a chance to share with her about others who would be donating their hair on January 12, and she wants to donate it in Noah's name.

Just some moments this week when I met the RISEN CHRIST face to face in the flesh and my heart was warmed with the MIRACLE and GIFT of CHRISTMAS!
