“So I would say this past year and half I’ve grown really close to this sweetest lady, Lisa, from church..her and I use to sing in the choir together..and she is this person that when you see her you just get happy..Amen..she truly brings God’s light, love and kindness with her when she enters a room..she brightens it up for everyone around her..Amen..but you know how you meet someone and you just click..Amen..well, that has been her and I from the beginning..but as I say this past year the Lord has placed her in my life..and I am ever so grateful and thankful that He did..Amen..but I like to call her my mailbox friend..for she will text or call and she’ll say I am dropping off a gift..or some homemade cookies for Benjamin..Amen..or a birthday card..and even one time she had me a bright pink West Virginia shirt in there..Amen..and as she does this usually at these times I am having a rough day..or I am missing my family like crazy..Amen..my mommy, my Randy and my sisters..Amen..and in them moments to me it’s like God is telling me and showing me through her kindness and love that He sees me..Amen..that He hears me..Amen..and that He loves me..Amen..its just beautiful how God does these things for us..in the moments and times of our lives when we truly need it the most..Amen..He doesn’t let us go through things alone..Amen..its like glimpses of His love showered down upon us..Amen..but I say all of that to say this..that in our rough times and them sad times of life..I do pray we never forget to as Betty White would say like her momma told her..to always look for the upside of a situation if you are having a bad day or a bad moment in your life..for she says there is always something that is a positive for you..she says don’t focus on the negative but always look for the positive..and then you will start to have a good day..Amen!”

“But the key is to adjust your thinking..and get up and start moving in these moments of change that comes in life..in our moments of heartaches and disappointments we get up and we get to looking for the good and remembering the good that is in our lives..and at how truly blessed we are..Amen..for the enemy always wants to take you down and out..Amen..he wants you to fall down and stay down..but we fight against him with the Lord by our side..we put on Gods armor and we move ahead..victoriously..Ephesians 6:11-18..Amen..because if not we lose sight of the goodness of God..we lose sight of our goals in life..and we sit still in the midst of it all..and we stay there..but God as I say comes along and sends us as He did me..a Lisa in my life..for such a time as this..Ester 4:14-16..Amen..she is lovely and such a prayer warrior..and I am sure you as well have yourself someone that has been sent by the Lord for a time when you needed it the most..Amen..for He always shows up for us always on time..so today is Valentine’s Day..so let us not forget all of Gods love that He has showered on us and in our lives..and at all the Love that He alone has given to us..for there is no greater love than the love of Jesus..Amen..for He is our Valentine..He is our everything..so think back over your life at all the times God has been so good to you..and God has showered His love upon you and your life..through the life of someone else..and their obedience..and their kindness..it truly is amazing the God we serve..for He is on time every time..Amen..for no greater love then this the bible says that a man would lay down his life for his friends..John 15:13..Amen..for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have ever lasting life..John 3:16..Amen..for we are loved and we all are loved deeply by our Heavenly Father..King Jesus is His name..Amen..so have the best day..and know that you are the apple of His eyes..Zechariah 2:8/Psalm 17:8..Amen..and there isn’t anything that He will not do for you..for He loves you and once again He alone sees you..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤ …and the icing on the cake..the extra bonus is that her and my mommy share the same middle name, Marlene.. ❤
