Awards and winning giveaways

I have been bad about not keeping up with the awards that have been passed on to me. I do appreciate when someone reads my blog and gives me an award. I think about who I will pass it on to and then don't get around to it! I've seen some blogs with their awards in the side bar. I guess I need a way to organize them. Plus I never know who I should pass them on to when I get one.

Today I received an award from Debra. I have been reading her blog for the past few weeks and really enjoy it. Thank you for this award.

To translate the gift from Portuguese to English, it means:"This blog invests and believes, the proximity"[meaning, that blogging makes us 'close' -being close through proxy] How awesome is that?? "They all are charmed with the blogs, where in the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate? Then let's try to give more attention to them! So with this prize we must deliver it to 8 bloggers that in turn must make the same thing and put this text. Here are my choices, they are mostly blogs I've been reading recently: 1. Simple Expressions 2. Susan's Space 3. Michele's Morsels 4. I Am Mommy 5. Sting My Heart 6. Spiritually Unequal Marriage 7. The Fruits of the Spirit 8. Beloved Mama

Also, I forgot to mention that I won another giveaway! Two actually that I don't think I've written about. First was a book giveaway from Sister Sheri. I won the book Sisterchicks Go Brit! Sheri had posts this past week about The 23rd Psalm that were really a blessing.

This week I found out I was one the winners in Marsha's blogoversary giveaway. I won~ Sisterhood of Faith by Shirley Brosius. and a $10 Starbucks or Lifeway Gift Card. (I chose Lifeway.) Marsha is doing a series on Legacy that is wonderful, check it out!

It is so fun to win! When I see something I'd like to win I never think when I enter that I will really win. It's great! I need to come up with a giveaway of my own as a "pay it forward" kind of thing!

What a neat surprise that you thought of me. I wish I knew 8 bloggers to pass it on to, but you & Marshas Musings are my only 'bloggy connections' so far. None of my circle of friends here or in Florida are bloggers, I'm sorry to say. They do enjoy checking in & keeping up with what I'm posting, however.
I really appreciate your comments & encouragement!
Keep up the good work on your blog. Your love for Jesus, family & friends shines through!
Blessings,
Susan
