I can really relate to this post. My ...Amen, Laura. I can really relate to this post. My husband started blogging over a year before I did. He tried to get me interested in it but I was not the least bit interested. Then one day my niece, Ginger was at our house and she showed me her blog and talked about how women share things that are of interest to them and I decided to start a blog. Then I started another one, and then another one. I now have four blogs. I wasn't doing Facebook then either and since have gotten really active there. It has really changed my life. Like you I have met so many wonderful friends through the internet that I would have never met in person. It really has been a God-send. And Facebook has been such a blessing because I've reconnected with people from my past, both friends and relatives. Some I haven't seen in over 60 years. Some I have never seen but am related to. It's really great.<br />Thank you for being one of those people in blogland who has blessed me.<br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-25299904390163773102012-04-29T16:40:02.253-05:002012-04-29T16:40:02.253-05:00How wonderful it is to know that God is in everyth...How wonderful it is to know that God is in everything little thing!betty-NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950300478215339641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-26583919217586992042012-04-29T05:55:57.608-05:002012-04-29T05:55:57.608-05:00Beautiful.

When I began blogging three years ago, I had no idea how my life would be touched by the many sisters (and brothers) in Christ. I'm reminded of the verse where he young man asks Jesus, "Who is my neighbor?" While we all live in different states - even different countries, as fellow believers we are "neighbors". <br /><br />Blessings and thanks for linking up this week.<br /><br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-89253991093829382392012-04-28T02:33:07.114-05:002012-04-28T02:33:07.114-05:00Beautiful :) So glad we all found each other amids...Beautiful :) So glad we all found each other amidst our online spaces.

We have never met but we are sisters in the Lord and sometimes that is even more special. We encourage each other and challenge each other and even pray for each other. It is good. Someday I might even try to meet a few of them.Thoughts for the dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166340365607117445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-87266056080669512812012-04-27T12:46:31.613-05:002012-04-27T12:46:31.613-05:00So glad I met you, Laura, and I agree God does hav...So glad I met you, Laura, and I agree God does have a sense of humor.

I have only recently started blogging and subscribing to other blogs, and what a comfort I have found in being able to connect with women from all over the world, sharing our thoughts, encouraging one another. So often I see social media being used in a negative way, but this is proof that God can use anything and all things to bring glory to Him.ashfrizzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01074268211379415400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-89444555597945127702012-04-27T12:18:00.359-05:002012-04-27T12:18:00.359-05:00Laura,
