Southern Inspiration

Today, I’m participating in the Miracle Makeover Party! Read the details at the bottom of the post and start commenting! Thank you to Guideposts Magazine for bringing us the video of Colette and her miracle makeover. The link to see the video is at the bottom of this post.

Colette’s story is inspiring. Many things inspire us in life. Special people, the song of a bird, rainbows, a refreshing breeze – all of these remind us who we are and Whose we are. They remind us of our Creator and our salvation! Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow!

As many of you know, I lost my beloved Grandpa last Friday. He inspires me to live life well and fully.

I lost my father in 1992. I’m inspired by him to care about people and to let them know that I care.

I am very fortunate to still have my mother. She inspires me to put my heart in to everything I do, whether it is teaching a class, working with clients, making dinner or setting a table – give it your all and do it well.

I am also inspired by my husband. He inspires me to be committed and he makes me laugh.

I could go on and and on about all the inspiration in my life – sisters, brother, nieces and a nephew, a bonus father and on, and on it goes.

Today, I’m inspired by a cool morning after so many hot, hot summer days! What inspires you today?

    Happy Pink Saturday, Christi. Thank you for making Pink Saturday special, and for taking part in this day of celebration and thanks.

    There truly are miracles going on all around us every day. We just have to open our hearts in acceptance.

    Thank you for sharing inspiration with us. You are blessed with your family.

    I’m still hoping to reach my goal of 200 comments by midnight tonight.

    It’s great to have a family to inspire you. I’m glad you still have your mother. My mother was an inspiration to me. I only knew one of my grandfathers and didn’t know him very well. He passed away when I was about 14 years old.
    Thank you for sharing with us on Spiritual Sundays and for being a part of the Miracle Makeover party.
    Blessings,
    Charlotte

    Hi Christi,
    I’m so sorry about your grandfather. I think we all have special people in our lives who inspire us; loved ones and the Lord Jesus especially. God plants people into our lives who help to make us better and vise versa. I’m sure your family does that for you as mine does for me. Thank you for sharing and I hope you enjoy this special weekend.
