Giveaway & Award & Mom bragging

Donna at Cottage Days and Journeys is having a Giveaway. Be sure you go visit her blog to sign up for a lovely handmade Christmas ornament for your tree. You'll love her beautiful fall pictures and kind heart while you are there.

Kim at Homesteaders Heart has graciously selected me for an award. I'm humbled and honored to received this award from her. She is so funny and real and has such a wonderful heart for God and her family.

This award acknowledges the values that every blogger shows in his/her effort to transmit cultural, ethical, literary, and personal values every day.


The rules are:
1. Accept the award and post it on your blog along with a link to the person who has awarded you.
2. Pass the award on to 15 other blogs that are worthy of this acknowledgment. Remember to contact each of them to let them know they have been chosen for this award.
So here are my nominees for this award:

Everyone who is listed on my side bar are very deserving of this award. So if you are listed on my sidebar, then consider yourself awarded.



Not long ago I posted about my 22 year old son who is a paramedic and how he ministered to a particular family not long ago. Click here to read that post.

This is a brief follow up. This mom (who didn't even know his name at first) tracked him down through his employer. She has called him, written emails to him & her friends and even written a letter to his employer testifying about how much his kindness and compassion meant to her at a very difficult moment. And it turns out that her medical condition was not nearly as severe as originally expected. He usually does not get to find out what happens to the patient after he gets them to the hospital. AND today Stephen is going to the little girl's 2nd grade classroom to talk about being a paramedic.
