Day 8 of the Mothers and Daughters Creations First Annual Mothers and Daughters Traditions Blog Roll

Born Again

Sometimes don't you feel in your heart you should do and share something with others? Last weekend I would say I had a great time, I went to a Ladies retreat for the first time and I feel so blessed I did. I got renewed not only as a woman, wife and mom, but also in my relationship with the Lord. Sometimes we are so busy that we leave our devotionals and time with our Creator as our last thing to do, I am learning and changing things in my life and giving God the priority.
After I came back from the Retreat I got sick, I would say I experienceda really bad pain, never experienced before, that slowed me down for a couple of days, but thanks GOD I am feeling better today.
While I was checking my blog today I was listening my music and I heard "Born Again" and my heart cried. I am a very "cry person", so you know what happened then. I listened that song 4 times in a row. I just want to enjoy every day the love that my Lord is giving me every day the same day I become a Christian. I have been a Christian for almost 20 years, I have had ups and downs, but I knew always the Lord was there for me.
The Lord doesn't care where you are from or what language you speak, He really CARES for you without complains, do you care for HIM? do you show others just with your actions that God lives in you? Hard right?
I don't know why I am saying all this, I just felt that in my heart and I wanted it to share with you. I hope you can read it and enjoy the video.
God bless you


PS: Stop the music at the bottom so you can enjoy the video.

Mothers & Daughters Creations Thursday Challenge and Blog Roll!!!

Look who came to visit us

Canadian Geese trying to find a place to make a nest. This couple was a lot of fun.

Mamma Bird: That's how we call her. This is the 3rd Spring in a row she is back to make her nest here. The only complain: She is TOO LOUD!!! She starts chirping around 4:00 am and never stops. Her babies thought are always cute, LOL. You can't see it but her eyes are Real RED!!

And last, this critter (as I call them) here you can see only one, but it was a whole family of 8!! This is a Sage Rat Baby, they look cute, but they destroy your yard, well, I can't say I have a nice yard, but we don't want them either.

Oh well, I didn't have a card to show today, so I thought I would share this with you. I took all these pictures with my new camera and I used 20X zoom.

Come back tomorrow and enjoy our First Mothers & Daughters Creations Blog Roll!!! Prizes and challenges everyday.
