Taking a Break

Hi My Faithful Readers,

I will be taking a break from blogging for the next few weeks and I didn't want to leave you hanging wondering what happened to me. The plan is to spend some time thinking about the direction of the blog and my writing in general. Take care and see you in a few weeks.

Fingerprint Friday

Fingerprint Friday is the brainchild of Beki at The Rusted Chain. I love the idea of looking for God's fingerprint in our lives so I've decided to make this a regular post.

Fingerprint Friday is based on these words from the beautiful song by Steven Curtis Chapman:

I can see the fingerprints of god

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of god

And I know its true

You're a masterpiece

That all creation quietly applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of god

This week my fingerprint is my mom. I look back on my relationship with my mom and I see how God planned our lives perfectly in making me her daughter and the way she and my dad raised me.

Mom passed away in 2007 so this will be our 5th Mother's Day without her here to celebrate. There's a line in the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan movie You've Got Mail where Meg's character says, "I missing my mother so much it hurts to breath." Even after five years I have those moments. Thankfully, I have many happy memories to get me through.

My mother was the most amazing woman and I am so very grateful for every minute I had with her.

Speaking of songs, do you remember the old Garth Brooks song that talks about some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers. Recently I had the opportunity to see how a prayer from long ago might have turned out if God had answered in the way I thought He should. I have to say that His plan really was better than mine.

I see the fingerprint of God in the way He orchestrates my life even through unanswered prayers.

Giveaway Winner!
