Have you ever had one of those moments that you just felt so blessed that you needed to share it? Have you ever been overwhelmingly blessed by the Lord you just had to shout it from the mountain tops?
Danny and I have experienced God's blessings over and over again with the recent blessings coming after Josiah was born. Even though I could write about the HUGE blessing our son is, the blessing that I want to share is about our friends and church family. Right before Josiah was born a friend asked if she could coordinate meals for us. I thought that it would be GREAT to have a few meals to make things easier after mom left, but what I didn't realize is that people would be begging to make meals and she would have to limit the number of meals! What a blessing! We have been blessed with SIXTEEN meals -- meals from neighbors, meals from friends, meals from people we hardly know from MOPS or church. From pasta meals to chicken meals, from corn casseroles to salads, from soups to breads, from blueberry cobbler to chocolate cake, we have been blessed with more food than we can eat. (We put three meals and a few desserts in the freezer to bring out on a later date! YEAH!)
So... why am I sharing this? Am I bragging that the Lightners are just so wonderful that we deserve all of us? NO! NOT AT ALL! I am sharing to proclaim that we have a GREAT GOD and He has GREAT servants that have blessed us! We definitely feel like part of the body of Christ here in Iowa... No, this is not officially HOME (yet), but we feel so blessed that the friends that we have made here are caring for us and are treating us like family -- God's family.
THANK YOU... to all who have served the Lord by serving us! We are BLESSED!
