“I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints.”~Philemon 1:6-7
My little ‘Sting my Heart’ award is certainly not the ‘Blog of the Year Award’, but I like to give it as a ‘Thank You’ to Bloggers who are encouraging to me. There are so many brilliant Blogs out there, and this months I was going back-and-forth between two. But after this past weekend I knew which one I would like to present with the “Encourager of the Month” award.
The June 2006 award goes to ‘Partners in Prayer for our Prodigals’. This Blogger made me laugh and cry this past month. But I do have to say that my favorite post was “Does it make a difference son – that I love you?”. I can so relate to this post, because of our son just turning 21. People always say: ‘little children, little challenges – big children, big challenges’.
So, thank you Diane for your encouragement this month. Thank you for standing in the gap for all prodigals. I hope you have a great time with your family on vacation and that you will except my little award.
I’m going to have to go read this post tonight!
Congratulations to Diane! =)
BTW, Iris – do you want the sidebar on your comment page? If so, lemme know, it’s a quick fix.
Ok, got your sidebar on all your pages/comment pages.. and while at it, I put comments back on your pages, too =)
A well deserved award!! I love Diane and her blog. I linked to that post too on my blog – it was so incredible!
How sweet that you gave such a great award! *s*
I appreciate your dropping by. I still do participate with the Thankful Thursdays. It is only today that I didn’t. It is usually combined with my Thursday Thirteen. It is either before or after the Thirteen.
Well deserved award! Thanks for sharing about Diane, I’d never been there before. Iris, you are such a gift from God yourself. I really appreciate you too.
As I first read this post, I fought back the lump in my throat. As I read this post again to my mom this morning, again, the tears welled up.
Great choice!!
Nice of you to give your award. I will pop over and read her post. I have seen the blog a few times but it is not one on my regular list. Might have to add it! Hope you are having a Terrific Thursday!
