so thankful for the gift of laughter...

i believe that a good bout of laughter always helps the aching heart!!

so i was sitting down to let you in on the latest with a heavy heart and i looked down and read on a piece of paper sitting on my desk this...

 What do call cheese that isn't yours?  Nacho Cheese

 What do you call four bullfighters in quicksand? Quatro sinko

i belly laughed.  i am so thankful that God knew what today held and that He knew that i would need silly humor to lighten my mood :)  what a gift laughter is!

so the meeting NEVER happened yesterday.... and today is a holiday... hmmmmm?!!?!  so my guess is tomorrow they will be closed as well... God is definitely teaching me about His timing :)

so it could be tomorrow, or it could be monday or it could be... your guess is as good as mine!  i'll let you know when i know something!

in the meantime God is doing a work in my heart... as i've continued to cling tightly to Him and surrender deeper daily...  it's interesting how He changes my perspective as i've entered deeper than ever before into another's pain... 

i'm still here in my comfy home with my wonderful family in the middle of an amazing holiday season...  while my boys are in an orphanage that is none to comfy... with no family... and limited understanding of the GREATNESS of this season...

oh how i pray you hug your family tight today... that you laugh deeply with them... that you count your blessings... that you point all around you to Him... and that you quit sweating over the small stuff... those gifts you haven't bought or wrapped is not what brings the joy of the season... nor is how many parties we can go to... IT IS JESUS... please don't let that point be missed!

Praying for you and yours!  LeAnn

  1. Don't worry LeAnn those boys know the warmth of your heart. Our father's love will surround them and keep a hedge of protection around them. Thanks for reminding of us of the important things in life.

  2. We are naturally impatient, we naturally dislike slowness, and God, by withholding the answer for which we have looked, keeps us at His feet so  we may come to know Him more and more. He is  more concerned in the making and remaking of our lives than in the timing. He is infinitely more concerned in making us  women of His own pattern, and to deepen His relationship with Him. God is preparing us, by keeping us waiting upon Him, to use the gifts He will give in answer to our prayers . What a glorious homecoming it will be!!! Lynn lee
