The Blessing of a New Look
I have a new look. Susie, wonderfully talented, creative, Susie at Bluebird Blogs designed this beautiful new blog for me. I am delighted with it. She did such a wonderful job. It suits me perfectly.
I was thinking this morning about how blessed I am to be able to do something like this. It is totally unnecessaary. It is just something I wanted - something that was a "wish". There are so many who have such great needs. In fact, we have great needs - physical needs. Yet the Lord has blessed me with something that is simply a special gift from His heart to mine.
Each time I look at the lovely design Susie created, I think of the heart of God that delights to give us lovely surprises. Surely I could have gotten along with the old design I had. It was perfectly fine. Yet He did this for me.
He does it so often. Blessing upon blessing; things I don't deserve. I look around my home and realize how very much He cares for me. I think about the "inner blessings" - the peace, the joy, the hope - and thank Him for the priceless treasure He has placed within my heart. I look at my family - my parents who we are so blessed to have in our lives, in their eighties and still doing so well; my children and my grandchildren - the love and unity we have as a family who know and love the Lord. The blessing I have received blogging - the precious people He has placed in my life and in my heart - the friendship, the sharing, the prayers, the encouragement, the laughter; giving me an outlet for my desire to write and adding so much more. I am so blessed.
Thank You Lord for loving me so much You even bless me with the little things that I desire to have. Thank You for my beautfiul new design. You are such a loving, caring Father.
Blessings,
Linda

There are certainly many blessings in your life. Isn't God wonderful?
And I'll say it again, the new design is soooo sweet.
Linda I love it! :)
I love your new look. I'm glad to know it's new because when I clicked over, my first thought was "wow, how long since I've been here?" Nice to know I'm not that far behind!
Beautiful new look. I absolutely love it. Very warm and welcoming.
I really like your new look, I hope to change mine after I have been doing this for awhile. Yes, you are so blessed to have all of your family christians, I am still standing on the word in faith for some of mine, and to have your parents, double blessings. God is GOOD!
Wow, this is a beautiful new look! I haven't been visiting too much the last couple of days. I love the embroidery - I used to do that by the many hours. It was my creative outlet and really relaxed me. Then my eyes and my hands couldn't take it any longer - sad!
I loved yesterday's post - that was some great insight you got from looking at the frosty grass and trees. What a weird bunch of weather you're getting down there!
Oh Linda, it is beautiful!!! I love it! It is so YOU also and I can just imagine how excited you were when you saw it for the first time:-) You deserve this my friend!!! Hugs xoxo
Oh, Linda... it is so YOU! I love it! And to liken it to how God blesses our lives is so perfect. Also very... YOU.
