My first two bazaars of the season... I must confess.... have been fun!
I prayed before going... asking God to use me to be a blessing to others...
And I went trusting Him for the sales...
especially since I can't make anyone buy anything anyway! Duh!
The greatest blessing of all was having the opportunity to see a lot of women
I haven't seen in a very long time... some from Crossroads Church
where I used to go years ago... some from past speaking events
and others who had just lost touch with!
Let's just say... there was an abundance of hugs and lovin' at both bazaars.
It did my heart good... and I was blessed beyond measure.
You see... I grew up in a home where hugs were not given.
The first hug I remember getting (other than from boys) was from Mike's mom...
I was 18 years old.
It seemed so odd... so uncomfortable... I wasn't even sure how to respond.
With tears in my eyes and a heart filled with thanksgiving...
I prasie God that He has made me a hugger... and a cheek kisser!
I am so thankful for how He has so loved me...
that I have enough left over to give away. I am blessed!
So... I'm sorry if you weren't able to make it to one of the bazaars to get
your own personal Karla hug and kiss...
but even better... I'm sending you God-hugs and lotsa love!
Let us be thankful together!
Amen
