I don't want this to sound at all contrived, because I really mean it, but I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate that you blog. I'd never 'know' you otherwise, and you are so often a blessing with the things you share with us! (I know that many people would echo me on this.)

I know this wasn't what you were looking for, but I had to let you know anyway.

Now, I'll go take the excellent advice given, and go let some others know how much of a blessing to me they are, as well!

This post brought to mind how watching and living alongside suffering Saints can be such a blessing--seeing them humbly submit to God's providence while they give testimony of His goodness and steadfast love. I love to point out to them how God is using them in my live to strengthen my faith and trust in God alone.

Why this post grants me the perfect opportunity to express that YOU have encouraged me in my walk. Your reflections are thoughtful and helpful. Your candor is refreshing. And I like the t-shirts you make. I just can't afford them all!

Thanks, Carla.

Elle: thank you. I can't afford them all either.
