A couple of awards.

Earlier this week Marie and Ginny awarded me an Emmanuel Award.

Thanks so much for This award Marie and Ginny.

The Emmanuel Award is:

In a consumer society it is a blessing to read blogs where the writer's main focus is God. Where they express their love for their faith so visibly and joyfully.

In a cynical world it is refreshing to see so many blogs which are generous, giving, who care about others and demonstrate what being a Christian is about, loving God and loving our neighbor.

Through their faith, lives and spirituality, they bring God to us, they in essence make God visible, 'God with us.'

This Award goes to all the faith filled blogs who make evident 'Emmanuel'- God with us, with Joy in their hearts.

Please share this Award with Christian blogs that focus on the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Savior.

Peace, JOY & Merry Christmas.

I want to pass this award onto the people in my blogroll. You are all there because you really do make Emmanuel - God with us evident.
