I've Been Tagged

Gregg over at Gospel Driven Disciples tagged me so I'm it!

IF I WERE A…MONTH; DAY; TIME OF DAY; SEASON; PLANET; DIRECTION; TREE; ANIMAL; MUSICAL; INSTRUMENT; FRIUT
FOOD; COLOUR; BOOK; SONG ; MOVIE; FLOWER; FACIAL EXPRESSION. WHAT WOULD I BE?

If I were a month I would be May, for that is when the pretty flowers strut their stuff! 

If I were a day, I would be a Saturday, for it is the day to just relax and breathe in the fresh air. 

If I were a time of day, I would be the moment the sun touches the horizon and shines on all. 

If I were a season, I would be Fall, for it is the time of wonderful sites and smells. 

If I were a planet, I would be the Moon for it is the planet that reflects the Sun. 

If I were a direction, I would be  East, so I could be front row and center when the sun peaks it's head over the horizon. 

If I were a tree, I would be the Sakura, for it's beautiful blooms. 

If I were an animal, I would be the Bald Eagle for it is a magical bird. 

If I were a musical instrument, I would be the Piano for it's melodic sound that brings happiness to all. 

If I were a fruit, I would be a  Watermelon, for it brings contentment on a hot day. 

If I were a food, I would be Pizza, it both fills and satisfies. 

If I were a color, I would be Pink, because that is my happy color. 

If I were a book, I would be the Bible, for it has all the answers and comforts the hurting. 

If I were a song, I would be Amazing Grace, for it tells a wonderful story of grace. 

If I were a movie, I would be The Wizard of Oz, for it parallels life strangely enough. 

If I were a flower, I would be a Tiger Lily, for it is the most beautiful of flowers. 

Last but not least, if I were a facial expression, I would be a Smile, for it gives hope to the hopeless, love to the unloved, and grace to those who need grace.

Now I will tag 3 others...Ruby, Ellie, & Shannon.

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

God is Amazing

Something incredible happened to me last night while I was on Arlee Bird's Tossing it out!

Have you ever had something happen that could be nothing less than a God thing?  Well, that is exactly what occured last night right here in the blog-o-sphere. 

While perusing Tossing it out I saw a blog that was participating in the A to Z Challenge and went over for a look see.  After reading a bit I decided to follow this blog and left a comment telling as much.

In the meantime my daughter Molly had written a poem and asked me to post it on my blog Faith, Hope and Love. I went to see if there had been any comments on her poem and there was one by a gentleman named Gregg and I noticed when I looked up his info, his last name was one I recognized instantly. 

Wondering to myself, could that be the same person, I hurriedly emailed him and left comments on his last post.  Amazingly...it was the same person I had grown up with.  My father and he had been best friends in the same Bible College, PCBBC. Wow, only God could do something like this through the internet.

Last night I was able to reconnect with an old and cherished family friend and cannot wait for what happens next.  This man and his family were like the second half of my own family, we were together all the time.  Eating at each others homes, us children playing together and becoming the best of friends,  and just living life together, these are the times I remember so fondly.

The time our families spent together were the fondest memories from my childhood, and I praise God for reuniting us once again.  I cannot wait to reconnect with him, his wife, and children in person...my mom and I are thinking a road trip this summer is in order. Gregg get ready for some company, and a huge celebration, I have missed you all so much, and tell your beautiful wife, I hope she is making some of those wonderful homemade tortillas that only she can make to perfection.  May God bless you and your family and may He bless you abundantly.
