Easter Blessings

I have already posted my Easter Wishes on my other Blog Doreen's Creative Space but for those of you who usually follow this blog here are my wishes with a different twist...

Happy Easter!
Happy Spring!
Knowing that you follow me
Makes my heart sing.
It would make me even happier
To know we follow The Shepherd
When we follow His example
And His every word.
~Doreen Scerri~

HAPPY EASTER BLESSINGS!

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I was the recipient of The Lobster Award, a very innovative award created and given out by Victor of Time For Reflections and he serves it as he says "...on a silver platter", and "... all by itself to the few carefully selected Bloggers who merit recognition and distinction from amongst their peers and the rest of society."
WOW, I thought,... to be counted with such selected bloggers wondering what it was that I did which merited me being one of these selected few. Victor goes on to say that "The Lobster Award is an honor given to those Bloggers who visit you regularly, no matter how feeble, tiresome, long-winded and sleep making your posts may be, and who leave a word of encouragement or good cheer in your Comments Box." Now honestly I really do not have to make any effort as I love to visit Time for Reflections as Victor's posts are always so wonderfully written. His style of writing is just great and inspiring...but hold on, do I really need to say more, you can see for yourselves, just visit Time for Reflections. Victor has also written several Christian fiction books which you can read about on his blog. Oh, by the way he also has a great sense of humour ☺
Now it is my turn to nominate those who merit this award, please come forward to collect your award and I thank you all for visiting and commenting (I know some of you just visit without leaving a comment and I still appreciate your visits) on this blog...you are one of the main reasons I keep writing here...if I have forgotten anyone please come forward just the same and collect this great award, you all deserve it!

Whimsical Wednesday ~ A Bookmark for you!

A friendship, an email,
some words of wisdom too,
A request turned into a bookmark ~
Here's what I made for you!

We get so many emails each day, some from family or friends, others just because they have us on their mailing list and others, well who knows? Some turn out to be really good reading material while others are too repetitive and although I try to read most of them, eventually most end up getting deleted. I got this one email this morning which I thought was really cute both because of the picture and the words that were so suited to be attached to the photo. I thought it was a good one to share. Only a few minutes passed before I got a 'Thank You' from Jan, an on-line friend who asked if I could make it into a bookmark as she wanted to pass them out to the Sunday school children. I thought it was a great idea! Here is what I came up with...I hope some of you who visit my blog can use this too...

And here it is as a multiple page for printing...

Thanks Jan for requesting the bookmark!

Thank you so much my sweet friend I LOVE PINK for this lovely friendly award.

This is my very first award on this blog and I accept it happily!

I have not been accepting awards on my other blog recently due to the time it takes me to post awards and contact my blogging friends who, it seems,

have the same problem as I have.

Some people come into our lives, leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same.
