This beautiful award was given to me last week, but I am just now able to share with you my sweet thanks for the acknowledgement. This was very unexpected because I do believe it is my very first award in the blogworld. I have never written to seek approval from anyone other than God, but I must say it was a blessing to receive.
Many of you ladies have produced so much fruit through your words, that I am humbled to even take a look into your lives. I see God's hand in every word many of you type. I see you fear, but then trust. I see you stumble, but then reach out for help. I see you hurt, but then remember who is able to heal. I see you cry, but then laugh with joy. I see you share the love of Christ in a way that is real and relevant to a lost world and to other fellow believers. This is what I see as Real Fruit.
When I read Galations 5:22-23 that says, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control," I think of all the men and women who have taught me through their trials, sufferings, and also their triumphs that ultimately we are to love God and love others. I can't think of a better way to produce much fruit.

I'm delighted you got that well deserved reward Susie. As I read your posts I see the beautiful fruit that is being produced in your life. Your faith, your joy, your service, your friendships, your sharing the word...I'd say you are a blessing to the Father's heart - and to all who know you.
Much deserved, good for you! I still think you look about 17. xoxo
I'm very glad that someone gave you this award. You definitely shown the fruit of the Spirit through your site.
Congratulations on your award. I think you are very deserving!!
Also, welcome home, and I hope you and Skip feel better soon. We also just celebrated our 15th anniversary and our daughter just turned 14, so we have several things in common!!
Yea!!!! Congratulations. You deserve it all. I hope you and Skip are feeling better. Ahh!! the joys of a teenager in the house. Call me we can talk. LOL!!! I finally updated my blog. Check it out. Talk to you soon.
You do deserve this award! We've been on vacation for the past two weeks, so I haven't been able to stop by. You know, just in case you were missing me. =) Anyway, I'm not sure how much blogging I'm going to be doing for a while, but I will continue to pray for you and be checking up on you via email if that's ok.
Blessings!
I don't think you realize how much you mentor all us who read you. This award is very richly deserved, Susie.
CONGRATS!! You are definately a fruit producer allowing Christ to work through you!!!
Continuing to pray with and for you in the housing situation and transition ahead!!
Way to go Susie! You absolutely deserve it. You have been such an encouragement and inspiration to me through your writing. Keep up the good work...you'll reap a harvest if you don't pass out first! (That's what the Bible says!) Love you, Girl!
How exciting. You so deserve such a great award. Your words are so inspiring.
