AS GOOD AS GOLD!

A couple of months ago, blogging friend Connie from Connie's Thoughts awarded me the BFF Gold Card....BLOGGING FRIENDS FOREVER! Isn't it so cute? The idea behind this award is that you send it to three bloggers who have regularly commented on your blog and also to one new blogging friend. The 3 people that I have chosen to pass this award on to are bloggers that have visited and commented on my blog in the beginning of my blogging days.

1) Always the encourager to both Shane and I, Jen of Pen of Jen

2) Always reminding me of God's awesome power, Susan of Penless Writer

3) Always treating me like a sister, (cuz we are sisters!) Rita, of The Jungle Hut

4) My new and witty blogging friend, NINA of Portugal Bound

Connie, I'm so thankful you thought of me for this award. I'm so sorry it has taken so long to follow award it to these other lovely bloggers! I have had the award displayed on my side margin though since first receiving it!

A SWEET AWARD, A GIVEAWAY, & SHANE

One of my blogging buddies has awarded me with a SWEETNESS award! This is what THERESA said about me---

"PAM Of Midnight Musings not only is a friend that has stuck with me, but a very funny blogger, I get a really good laugh (almost) every time I read her blog."

Thanks Theresa, I'm so touched! I'm happy I make you laugh. Perhaps one day, if I try really hard, some dear soul may be able to say they've been ENLIGHTENED OR CHALLENGED by my blog! Oh well, in the mean time, I suppose I'll continue trying to make people laugh!

FYI #1: Pam over at GOOD NEWS FROM A FAR COUNTRY is having a Givaway! Look at what you can win if your name is drawn! Some very neat and educational souvenirs!

FYI #2: My son posted this week.! I KNOW! It has been a while. Here is the link to his short post. I thought it was so cute!

Shane's Blog

Words of Affirmation

Okay, okay, I get it. Most of you don't think I'm boring! It made me giggle when reading your comments. You see, my love language is "Words of Affirmation". Maybe I was craving some of your kind words, which is why I opened myself up to say "I'm boring" right here on this very blog! *smiles**blushes*

Another "affirmation" I received today is posted above. Betty from Country Charm awarded me this Blogging Buddies Award. Arent the hugging kittie's a great representation of how we feel when we recieve our cyber hug? I just love it and hope you all will give Betty's blog a visit and a comment.

I'm Just Tickled Pink!

It was so nice to return home from my beach vacation with mom and her sisters and find this lovely award awaiting me from Mrs. B!!! She thinks I'm nice! Now if any of you have not been introduced to Mrs. B's blog yet you simply must make it a priority in life to visit there! You will find her to be VERY NICE and CHRISTLIKE! It's a comfort to visit her via her blog. I promise, you will come away having learned something or being refreshed spiritually. I found Mrs. B's blog early on in my blogging experience. She is a daily MUST READ for me! For me to receive this "NICE MATTERS" award from her is the epitome of blogging for me. Be still my soul!!


Now I would love to introduce you to some ladies whom I think are down right nice!

First: Jennifer at Pen of Jen
She can put her opinion out there, but yet you feel her compassion and desire to see us all living in a better world. She is so nice that she once called me long distance! YES! It was a real high light in my life. She was just as nice on the phone as she seems on her blog. I think she has the spiritual gift of "encouraging"!!

Next: Candy at At Home With Candy
She comes through on her blog as a most endearing little thing! She seems so feminine and kind. I once received a beautiful card in the mail from her with a couple of sweet mementos and notes. I have them tucked away safely in my "scrap booking" box. Hopefully I'll get to do a page with them one day soon.

Then: Kat at Just A Beach Kat
This dear lady has been such a spiritual encouragement to me by way of Bible scriptures and personal emails. Kat is a breast cancer survivor and is praying for me as I face my biopsy upcoming biopsy. It so amazes me how I can feel a closeness to her and all of you really, even though we have never met face to face. Isn't' God so amazing?

Enjoy your awards ladies. I'm enjoying mine!
