		<description><![CDATA[This just makes me smile tonight...it isn&#039;t always about having a lot to give but being able to meet a need. And, honestly, so many real needs don&#039;t require money...just time, heart, prayers, love. Those things are really what matter, aren&#039;t they? I love your heart, my friend...thanks for sharing today. You are such a blessing to me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oh, a dinner party sounds fantastic! Seriously, I hope we&#039;ll get that chance to meet someday soon. :) One thing I&#039;m finding in this season is that there ARE quiet moments...sometimes a lot of them. And that&#039;s ok. God can still move in the silence...and He often does. Thanks for your sweet encouragement...blessings and hugs right back to you. :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is probably the strangest response ever, but here goes ... spare time bring me joy. Because right now I&#039;m in a season of spinning busyness and it feels like the only time I&#039;m still is when I&#039;m sleeping and there isn&#039;t nearly enough of that happening either. So I&#039;ve enjoyed just stealing a few minutes of my own to write today and read (and not clean toilets or vacuum) and just have some spare time - pure joy! Really enjoyed your words and your update, Mel - I know the wondering about His goodness feeling and then seeing it all around me - well, that&#039;s pure joy too.  Blessings to you!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mel,
Love how real you are in posts all the time. Life it self in not easy to talk about out loud to people but, sometimes those experiences help other that may not be able to do that on their own. So Thank You!!..I truly get joy out seeing my family happy laughing, being kind to others. We also lost a baby and then we had a our son..(who had a twin and vanished at almost 4 months) So he brings me joy in a whole different level! My family=joy!
Keep inspiring!]]></description>
