I bought these very cool earrings for a DOLLAR at Target the other day, they are HONKIN' rainbow colored flat hoops. They make me smile. A lot. :lol:
I especially like when Jake does the dishes. I like rainy days. Really. (although two weeks of rain is starting to get to me) My puppy is super cute and I like to snuggle with him. :D A really yummy homemade milkshake....which reminds me...I forgot ice cream at the grocery store tonight. And chocolate. :???: I like seeing the faces of family in pics since we can't see them face to face anymore. ;-)
Dancing music puppies & babies getting kisses from anyone getting more than kisses from my female friends Chocolate making stupid mistakes (we can either laugh or cry - first I cry and then I laugh) clowns anybody getting a whip cream pie in the face rainbows sunrise sunset the NY Mets winning (not happening much this year) the NY Yankees losing (which is happening more this year) the Marx Brothers Jack Benny George Burns and Gracie Allen (remember I am 65)
I could keep going but I have a baseball game to watch.

Fred, I'm bummed you guys are stuck! Glad you made it by. What you up to now...79 bottles...Haha!
CJ, I've just gotten to know you, but I did not realize your son was in the Nicu. I'll be praying he gets home soon as well. I can see why that would make you smile.
Ed, Clowns! I love it. tam hates clowns, but they make me smile too. And it sounds like your a little horndog :)
Papa and Mama, you guys make me smile!

Glad you clarified that you had no top on the Samurai..for a moment there I was thought you were showing off your new physique! ;)
When Greg is home Hearing the kids playing (or Simone singing at the top of her lungs) Going home Seeing the way Jesus touches people's lives Counting all my blessings
Just about everything makes me smile..but the best smiles come from; watching my children worship, seeing Hubs relax, watching baptisms, seeing someone connect to the Lord for the first time, my bloggy friends, emails from a friend thats unexpected, Music, my dogs when they are being praised for being good...too funny babies of all kinds (human or animal)
I should probably just post this later..as I can not stop smiling now, and my list is growing rapidly! :shock:
I haven't smiled much lately so thanks for this opportunity to think about the good things in my life.
The Beauty walking in the door. My kids doing something silly - which is most of the time. Watching my daughter sing. Music. A good comedy. Watching Mandy & Tam's MTTV videos. A rainbow. When I read scripture and finally understand how to apply it to my life. My pastor - he injects alot of humor into his sermons. When my 2 year old niece calls me a 'punk' then gives me knuckles. Seeing my 7 year old nephew with cerebral palsy do things no one ever thought he would do. When my kids say 'I love you' with no ulterior motive. Spending time with my extended family. We laugh. ALOT. Hearing how God has delivered someone out of addiction. The smell of chocolate chip cookies baking. When someone takes the time to leave a comment on a blog post I've written.
Love, most birds? Which ones would not make the list :)
Darla, let us know when the rest of your list is up.
givemejesus, "When I read scripture and finally understand how to apply it to my life." I love it when the Spirit opens our eyes to things God wants us to understand.
Tyler, welcome home! Anxious to read your post on the conference. All I can say is that this Coldplay album better live up the hype.

Jon, I like hearing people order the skinny, sugar free, decaf drinks. I call those...What's the point!
Heidi, what do you think of sunset's that hit the bay just right :)
Heidi
· 1 year ago
Really want to know....
I do my 5 mile walk ever other morning around the bay or I'll do it in the evening.
Brent... I believe without a shadow of doubt that sunrises and sunsets are times of worship.. Let me explain. I remember going to my grandparents home in Rockaway Beach, Oregon and I would sit there in awe.. I had the best moments with God with myself on the sand and eyes to the horizon. I would weep,shout for joy and be able to be filled with His journey plans in my heart.
I believe any musician/pastor/ and or leader can duplicate a worship moment.
But there is NO sunrise or sunset that are the same.
It bowls me over when I AM at the awe of His presence for just me.
I was joking a bit, but I am glad you shared that. Now I know how you feel about the sunset, without a doubt!
Thanks!
