Words cannot describe how safe in His arms I am. Words cannot describe how thankful I am. I\u2019m thankful for SO MANY reasons but right now I\u2019m giving God all the honor, the flory, and the praise FOR YOU!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are reading this message YOU my friend have left a mark on me. I don\u2019t say that lightly. You have inspired me, encouraged me, loved me, uplifted me, and given me a reason to smile brighter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you know I celebrated my birthday on yesterday. I have to thank God first and foremost for giving me LIFE and for sparing my life to continue to spread HIS WORD! I don\u2019t take for granted what God has done and the gift of life. I don\u2019t take for granted His favor on my life. And I don\u2019t take for granted that He allowed me to be surrounded by SO MANY loving, caring, kind, gifted, wise souls like YOU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had many birthdays but NONE can compare to yesterday. I felt every prayer, every text, every email, every phone call, every card, every hug, every kind word, every smile, EVERYTHING I felt God\u2019s love in it all. I CAN\u2019T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!! I feel so loved! I feel so cared for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isn\u2019t that how God makes us feel? Loved and cared for? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Bible tells us that we should give thanks to the Lord because He is good and His love endures forever. The Bible also tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from above. YOU are my good gift: our friendship, our various bonds, our sisterhood, our love for one another. The way we pray for one another and encourage another and support one another is a gift from up above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh how I could go on and on and on about how much I appreciate you. Not only because you took the time to say happy birthday but because YOU TOOK THE TIME to be my friend. You did not think it was robbery to share your life with me. You did not think it was robbery to care about a little ole me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I can do is continue to thank God for you and keep you and your families in prayer asking God to grant YOU the desires of your heart and ask Him to fulfill His plan for you in your lives. I may not have a lot of money to give but I have LOTS OF LOVE to share and I have the rest of my life to show God\u2019s love and share His word with you. I may not always have the right words, call or text at the right times, I may not come by or call often enough, I may not do a lot of things right BUT I do know I don\u2019t miss a day without thanking GOD for EACH OF YOU. I don\u2019t miss a day praying for you and your families and whatever needs I know of at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Philemon 1 and 4 says I thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t want to beat a dead horse by prolonging today\u2019s message but I just can\u2019t thank you enough. If you receive today\u2019s message I\u2019M TALKING TO YOU! YOU ARE SO LOVED, APPRECIATED, and PRAYED FOR. Thanks for being my blessing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inspirationallaroundme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1674.jpg?resize=800%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1302\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inspirationallaroundme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1674.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inspirationallaroundme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1674.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inspirationallaroundme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1674.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inspirationallaroundme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1674.jpg?resize=768%2C769&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/inspirationallaroundme.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/img_1674.jpg?w=1151&amp;ssl=1 1151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>I had a blast for my birthday.
