Tree of Happiness

Oh what fun! Joy at Joy of Desserts recently blessed me with this sweet award. She amazes me with her blog. Have you checked it out recently?? Wouldn't it be fun to have a Joy of Desserts party sometime and everyone could make something from her blog on the same day! hmmm...

So the rules for this award are to list 6 things that bring you happiness and then to pass it on to 6 other bloggers for the happiness they share. Here we go!

• Definitely my amazing DJ and JJ. Regardless of my struggles with frothing, they seem to love me...


• Of course, my Max and all the critters in my life before little Max.


• Knowing how much love I experienced with my parents, and the 'missing them' is due to the great love. And knowing I will see them again one day.


• Lifelong friends as well as new friends. True friends - not the shallow ones. There is a difference.


• Great music. Anything from Josh Groban to Louis Armstrong to DJ on our piano at home... The list of favorites would be a novel.


• And most certainly - Jesus knows me, this I love...

Now, to pass it on. Miss Amy at Life and Times of Life at Home makes me laugh 99% of the time. Christelle at Beloved Mama and I have way too much fun. Liz at Kentucky Bound says she didn't name her new stray puppy after me, but I have adopted it as my dogdaughter. Elaine at Peace for the Journey always reminds me of our Hope. Faith Hope Love Mama at Faith Hope Love shows how great a gift our families are and the joy they bring. And finally, that silly Jon at Stuff Christians Like. It's clearly obvious here at Grace Today how much laughter I find on his blog. I appreciate his gift of laughing with Christianity and seeing how deep his dedication is to God. Or else he's a really, really good writer.... (just a little chuckle, of course)

Hope your day is fabulous regardless of where you find your happiness. I'm off to re-create the old west for about 125 kids next week. Now that will bring a few grins, most certainly!!
