Dear Friends,
"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break though and steal; But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,and where thieves do not break through or steal." Matthew 6 19-20
It is taking a lot for me to write this post... but through tears I have decided to go forth and post. Life is too short to worry about the little things and I am thankful for my family, true friends and Christian family. Soothing words calm and help in times of trial and burdens. I have always loved leading workshops, marriage retreats and teaching Sunday School. I love posting about Jesus and the wonderful blessings I am so thankful for. The past few days have been tough though I have had a stalker to my site for awhile. Faced with this burden and some mean things that never in my life have I experienced, and feelings of hurt .
The joy I have in the Lord, my friendships , families have been the key to dealing with this small but bothersome thing of someone following me around, and many other details I will spare you of.
Thank you to Denise and my special blogging sisters in Christ who have embraced me in friendship and love.
A wealthy Christian lady, who had spent her time and wealth on herself, dreamed one night of being in heaven. Seeing a large lovely home, she was told it was the gardener's. To her surprise her home was only a small cottage. When she questioned this the angel replied," We did the best with the materials you sent up."
Thank you for stopping by. May the Lord Bless you this week and always.
In his endless love,
Angel ():)

Lord, protect Angel and bind the enemy by the power and blood of Jesus, Amen

I am sorry that someone is bothering you and causing you pain. Please remember that there are many in the Christian blogging community that are grateful for your blog and happy that you are with us. I loved that little story at the end. Awesome!
So sorry to hear about your struggles this week, Angel Mama. I feel your pain... I just had to close and delete my blog this week, for safety reasons. All those hours of creative effort, wasted! It's very, very disappointing (heavy sigh). I pray your troubles will resolve quickly. I'm very proud of you for continuing to be thankful in spite of it.

Love you,
Denita
So true! It just goes to show that we can't take our wealth up to heaven with us can we? btw I'm really sorry you've been dealing with a stressful stalker online, I've been there and done that and it's a hard thing to deal with *hugs*
I am sorry you have gone thru this. I pray God's peace over you and protection. May God encourage you this day and I appreciate that you wrote your TT list! Your words are encouraging!
I'm so sorry you are hurting right now. I am sure you shall overcome this!
Loved your thankful list! Thank you so much for dropping by my blog!! Feel free to link to me :-)
I hope you have a blessed Lord's day tomorrow!!
