MAX Out Your Heart
April 21, 2008|Comments (none)
Yesterday, my blogging hero, Rhonda Jean of Down to Earth wrote about our journey into adoption and asked for her readers (who are every bit as devoted to her as I am) to offer us words of encouragement. I didn’t even know that she had done it because I read her blog before I go to bed each night. Her blog is a wonderful way to end the day — soothing words, lovely pictures, and the warmth that is Rhonda Jean.
Since that post, I have enjoyed contact with some of the most wonderful people. Jacky of JACKet Creative Mess sent me a lovely note and this gorgeous painting entitled MAX Out Your Heart. She wanted to remind people to fill their hearts to overflowing (like credit card debt at Christmas time). Let me tell you, I look at that painting and my heart is filled with hope and love for our children — wherever they might be.
I also got a personal and very informative email from Katherine, who made my morning. I opened my Outlook and read each word twice. We have more in common than you might think, my friend. Your advice and wisdom is timely and welcomed. I can not thank you enough.
Dawn (Colours of Dawn), Leah (Sugar & Spice), Holly (The Holly Tree), Jayedee (Life in the Lost World) and Michelle (Applie’s Place) wrote me such thoughtful and personal notes. Thank you!
So, in light of the painting and spreading the love of our MAXED-OUT hearts… let’s show some love around. Please stop in to visit my pal, Robin, who is charged to get into shape and take off some weight (I hear you loud and clear, Robin! Me too!). Share a little bit of love at her site today and be her cheering section. Marathoners have their friends stand at certain points along the course to throw water and towels at them (and to shout things like, “You rock like KISS!!”) so lets be that team for Robin today.
Do you have anyone that needs some extra words of encouragement? Post their names below and we’ll all focus our prayers, thoughts, and positive energies their way!
