Thank you, Mari-Anna. That’s how I feel when I visit your place as well. 🙂 God has been good to connect us through our blogs.

You’re welcome, Theresa. I guess that’s why “news” is always the most sensational stuff–it’s the out of the ordinary. But with God, even the ordinary can be extraordinary.

Thanks for your encouraging words, Trudy. I wonder if the majority of us see ourselves as odd. Which means, who are the “normal” people? Do they realize they’re the minority, which makes them the odd ones and us the normal ones? ha. I do love, too, that God purposely made us the way we are, and loves us because of that!

I love that, too, Debbie. He notices us, even when we’re not noticing him!

Ah, Sherlock. Maybe I need to take a few more clues from him and you, Horace. 🙂 Some things I’m observant about; other things, not. I do want to see God’s hand over all things though!

I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt and trust that your smoothies are delicious. If I ever get the opportunity, I’d love to try one. 🙂

That means you’re wise, Floyd. I see you looking for God in the nooks and crannies of your life’s stories, and we’re all the wiser for how you share them with us.

Thanks for these encouraging words, Kelly. Seeing God where we least expect Him doesn’t always come naturally to us. But I do love that our God is a God of great surprises if we’ll stay awake!

Unwrapping his gifts of love…yes, Julie. I need to do that with some of the “gifts” I’ve received lately that don’t at first appear to be gifts. 🙂
