Today I would like to say Thank you to Patty one of my close Blogging friends, her Blog is called “Thoughts From An American Woman” which do bring back memories (see link below) Patty is also one of my top Commenters and so WordPress Staff in my Annual Report, which they did a great job on, suggested in their kindness for me to personally thank Patty, I had been planning to do this already and was creating a Power point for her on Tulips with Hope as the Theme, both of which she chose herself (see below) I greatly appreciate the Love and encouragement Patty shares in her comments but would also like to say Thank you because she is such a beautiful Christian woman who has greatly blessed me.
I will also thank personally the other top Commenters that WordPress advised me of, over the coming weeks and anyone else who has touched my heart, you are all very special and unique.
Patty is a very busy woman but always takes the time to encourage and uplift others, if you visit her Blog you will see her responses to them are always filled with Christian Love and Patty also takes a personal interest in those who visit her, as I shared I’m very blessed our lives touched, I love to receive her e-mails too, they keep me up to date with her life happenings.

Hi Debbie, I just lost my comment to you, I said thank you for your kindness in thinking about me and for your encouragement with the Award but yes I already have this Award but not sure if it’s actioned yet, I found all the rules a bit of a burden with the Awards I do believe in genuine encouragement and Awards can be good for this but like others do now I encourage in another way but if you would like some Awards without rules, I created some and you deserve them for sure, they are more like a blessing.
Thanks again Christian Love Always – Anne

I thought long and hard about this before I decided to participate. Inspiration is the goal of my blog as I know is yours , too. I am relatively new to the blogging world. I think probably after this one I may become an award free blogger. Haha!! My rewards come in the comments readers and followers make in how my writing has touched them to change. Love your encouragement sweet friend!

Hi Debbie I do believe Awards have a place, God asks us to encourage others, I just find Awards rules tooooooooooooo much and when you receive a few Awards together, Wow when do we sleep.
But there is a Award I would like to share with you , there are no rules, it’s for encouragement and Unity I hope you like it.
A Blessing- https://freedomborn.wordpress.com/2011/12/15/the-king-of-kings-friendship-award/

Thank you Son for your appreciation of Patty’s Power point, it gave me much Joy to create it for her, what about you, what would you like to see highlighted ? perhaps not a flower unless like Ron you like gardening and what theme would you have?
I created a Power point for Nick, Ron’s Grandson and he his my Grandson now too, about the Solar System, I will leave the link for you. Although I mostly create Power points as gifts for friends as a thank you for their encouragement, and support, I have been so blessed myself because as I put them together I learn through Scripture and the word’s God gives me to share.

“May the God of Hope fill us with all Joy and Peace as we Trust in Him, so that we may overflow with Hope by the Power of the Holy Spirit.”
Romans 15:13
Thank you Anne for sharing God’s love and hope with us everyday. Life events can sometimes bring us pain and hardships and it’s so easy to get discourage or loose hope but God finds a way through his people to remind us how much he cares and that there are so much reasons to celebrate life. Wishing you and your family a blessing filled 2015. Happy New Year and God bless you always.

Reblogged this on Thoughts From An American Woman and commented:
Some of you may already know Anne from Freedomborn, she has a servants heart and has been an encourager to me. Many times when I feel as if I am unable to face another lonely day she posts a bible verse or some encouraging thoughts to bless my day. She had created this beautiful power point for me and I would like to share it with all of you and pray that you find the love, encouragement and blessings from our Lord through the bible verses and soothing pictures of tulips, my favorite flower. Anne is indeed one of my kindred spirits – knowing my heart. I can only pray that I touch her life the way she has touched mine. Thank you Anne for being a friend and a sister in Christ.
