Spreading HubLove

   Faith Reaperposted 10 years ago

   I received a package in the mail and realized I had been remiss in officially thanking the HubPages Community (you know who you are) for voting for me in the 2013 Hubbie Awards.  What better day to give thanks! I want to give a big shout-out of gratitude and a big thank you to the HubPages Community.  In the note I received in the package, it stated that there are over 77,000 published Hubbers, so I am humbled and honored that anyone would even vote for me!  Most of all, I want to thank you for allowing me to just be me!  You are the best of the best and I love you all!  Now, I get to sport this new tee ... hehe .... because of the HubPages community.  If you look closely there, I am wearing a white gold cross, which I never take off, for He is the reason I even started to write here on HP, as I will never forget the mighty works He has done in my life and the miracles of healing.  I am alive today because of Him and humbled that I am even able to wear such a tee-shirt as this due to His healing me of DCIS Breast Cancer!  Although, I do not think of myself as religious, I sure do love Him!  I want to leave you all with a beautiful quote by Madeleine L'Engle, "What the heart gives away is never lost...it is kept in the hearts of others.  If it can be verified, we don't need faith...Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason.  Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys."  Many blessings and much love to you and yours on this day and every day!  In His Love, Faith Reaper

         Thank you so much dear Marlene. You were one of the very first hubbers to visit my first hub. I will always remember at how thrilled I was that someone read my hub and could relate to the topic!  I appreciate you for sticking with me this long. You're the best. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving. My crew just left my home this day a bit ago. I love you all and thank you for allowing me to be me!  Hugs and much love always.

   I likewise got a package from HP. Fortunately, the clock battery went dead for some reason.
   
   Just kidding...
   
   Thank You, HubPages! I'm saving the T for a special occasion. Not kidding. When that next viral hub comes along, it's party time.

   You're the best "love spreader" on HubPages, Faith Reaper, always sharing, supporting, and adding positive energy to the community. You deserve that Hubbie wholeheartedly so wear your t-shirt (and your cross) proudly. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful. May God continue to bless you and shower you with his grace.
