For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours. ~ Romans 1:11-12 (NLT)
When I started this monthly award over a year ago, I was honestly afraid that I would run out of giving out this award to women who encourage me and others. Over the last six months though, I really have a hard time to pick just one per month. The Christian blogging community has truly changed which I attribute to CWO’s spread on the Internet. But I digress…
This month’s recipient of my little award (I know, it is not the all coveted Bloggers Award or Sweet Scent Blog Award) has been influential to many married women and mothers. I am very blessed to also blog with her at CWO’s Team Blog and co-host with her and others In Other Words. With her “Marriage Monday” and her “30-Day-Challenge to Honor our Husbands” she set me back on the path I started over two years ago. God knows that I do need those reminders once in a while to set me straight on my priorities. She has a sweet spirit and is always so encouraging through her posts and comments…
Christine, thank you so much for your continued encouragement in my marriage. Thank you for wanting me to be a better wife (and mother). I know you are very busy with your family, children and your new little son, Zachary. I am thankful that the Lord has crossed our paths. I do hope that you will accept my little award of gratitude.
If you have never visited Christine’s blog “Fruit in Season” I encourage you to pay her a visit. You will be encouraged, believe me.
Blessings on your Sunday and as always…
Great choice…….she surely fits the bill.
This will be a great little surprise.
I just “met” Christine a short while ago through your Thankful Thursday post Iris. I couldn’t agree more. Her life and her words are a sweet encouragement to anyone who reads them and gets to know her just a little bit.
P.S. That (edit) is still on my LWG post. I’m so embarrassed!! When will I get it right?
Great choice, Christine is very deserving of this award.
Oh, Iris, you are such a dear friend. To get this award from you is so special! You are one of the most encouraging bloggers out there and the fact that I can encourage you in return is truly a blessing! I will be honored to display this front and center.
Thanks so much for making my day (and week, and month!).
Way cool choice.
So deserving. Christine is an encouragement to me everytime I stop in for a visit at Fruit In Season.
🙂
Great choice, Iris! Christine is a great encourager to many women!
I’ve also enjoyed visiting Christine’s site.
Great choice!
I love Christine, too! You are so sweet to give out awards each month. I just wanted you to know that I have given you one, too!! Come on over and check it out. Have a blessed day.
Excellent choice!!
I love that you do this each month, Iris! Keep passing along these great links to us.
Christine is a great choice. She’s very open and honest.
