I used to read blogs at night. It was how I relaxed before I went to bed. Over the summer that has changed. The kids are sleeping, one in the living room on the couch, so I'm confined to my bedroom for a while until they wake up. I get my coffee, have quiet time with the Lord, and then start my day by checking email and reading my friend's blogs.You all bless my heart so much! What a joy to open my email to see that someone has stopped by my blog and left a comment. This morning it was Laura of Harvest Lane. She won one of my weekly soap giveaways and has been a regular visitor ever since. I went to visit her blog and read about how God has provided a new job for her husband, how her husband and sons put up a new wooden screen door, and was reminded of ways to use things up and save money.
My friend Darlene at Stover Lane is looking for her red recipe box. I wish I could be there to help her find it.
Sher at Old Crow Farm in Kansas is enjoying a much needed cold front that has given relief from all the heat and humidity. As I read her blog this morning I walked around her garden with her as she watered her flowers and enjoyed the cool of the morning.
I have to stop by Kim's blog, Mrs. Morris Art, to see what kind of ATC card she's come up with in the night while I was sleeping. Or to find out what the dogs have been up to. I'm lucky to have her live close to me so that we can see each other.
There are so many more people that I have visited this morning. I will probably never meet you in person. I wish I could. I 'd love to sit a spell with all of you and talk. But you are my friends of the heart. You share your world with me each new day. You bless my heart. Those are the best kind of friends to have. I'm so glad that God brought you into my life!!

I have enjoyed the honesty and serenity of your blog. I find it comforting to be able to keep up with people and not have them disappear into the night. It does provide some security inthis ever-changing world. And doesn't that sound odd? Finding comfort in something you cannot see or touch? I consider you on of my friends....
What a lovely way to start your day! I think I will change my journal time as well once we begin school too.
Hugs,

I feel the same way, Kay... I visit people's blogs (like yours) and think, "gosh, I wish I could talk to them in person just once!"
I love coming to visit with you, even if it is on this dumb old computer! LOL
What a sweet post, you sound like a very precious person . I haven't received my soap yet, but you will hear me squealing when it gets here! have a blessed day dear .
Forgot to tell you to come sign up for my free giveaway. Everybody welcome !
What an encouragement, Kay, to hear you are settling in, sounds like you are experiencing more peace in your life. We all will always have daily trials and those hills or mountains to climb. Doing so in the peace of the Lord is the secret - easy to say, hard to do sometimes.
I too find inspiration in reading the blogs of friends from "Blogland" and sometimes wishing I could be there!
Kay, It's fun to read about how others read blogs. I reward myself the time to spend on them after I do some work around the house(or sometimes I do the work after!)
Anyway, take care, and God bless!
