I never realized how I have been blessed more than I will ever know. I had a student say to me…..Are you in my other class? My response was I have no Idea I cannot look behind my head. Yes indeed she was. For as long as I can remember I have sat in the front so that I can hear the instructors better. Then again…..I want to drown out the students and the world. I get laughed at. I get picked on. All in a good way. I never truly knew that I had such a sense of humor. Total strangers go to me………”You are REALLY funny.” I tell them no I am not and then the fun really begins. I challenge them to give me one word and with that one word I make up the most outrageous joke ever. Today will be no exception. My challenge will be my 11 year old son. Once again it will be the mother/son food cooking challenge. He told me the food he wants to learn how to cook the following is the recipe for slow cooker stew:

1-2 lbs of stew meat (depending how big your family is)

2 packages of frozen stew vegetables

1 can of tomato soup undiluted

1 can of cream of mushroom soup undiluted

1 packet of onion soup mix ( I prefer Lipton)

1-2 cups water depending on the amount of gravy you want

Place all of the ingredients in that order in the crockpot and cook on high for 6 hours.

The book called The Secret really works. I have never experience more random blessings than this past week. Today was the topper. I have been busy planning and putting together the final touches on my Make A Difference weekend that will be happening next Saturday. Today on a whim I stopped by a florist and spotted a beautiful angel that seemed to say buy me…….The angel was holding a basket. I told the florist that it would make a perfect bowl to hold raffle tickets but I had nothing to raffle off. All of a sudden she slipped out to the back room to talk to the owner of the store. Imagine what happened next. I will be getting a beatiful flower arrangement to be raffled off. I didn’t ask for it. It just came to me. God is good. I have been given more blessings that I will be able to share with others…….The greatest gift is the gift of charity. On Saturday I will be joining other local knitters and crocheters in making blankets for women with cancer and Veterans at a local hospital. Two women will be bringing their sewing machines to sew blankets also. This event gives me great pleasure in knowing that I can make a difference in the lives of those who need comfort and who are hurting. We are all called to play a part in the lives of each other. It could be a simple act of kindness or a big act of kindness. But as human beings we are all called to take action. Together we can Make A Difference.
