I have two grown children, 7 grands with #8 on the way. My grands call me Marmee but my name is Lin. HOPE is what keeps us steady in the time of trial; therefore, I maintain a healthy level of HOPE in everything that I do along with the faith of a mustard seed. I’ve been divorced longer than I was married and raised my children with the help of God. About 6 years ago I realized there is a lot more to life than I was living and experiencing. So I put my faith in God in action and while at times “life” is not always pleasant, I have great hope for my future here on earth knowing eternity is yet another life in itself. I was introduced to SS by a dear friend, Lisa. Thanks Lisa!
I’m a photographer and I found this one by accident after reviewing the photos from a wedding.
I was so disappointed with all the bad news in the morning, need some positive news. I found HappyNews.com and saw your website. Needless to say this has me smiling and I seem to see all these things smiling at me now 🙂 see what I’m talking about!!

Looking at our old computer I noticed the speaker eyes…adorable!

These cleaning supplies happened to make a Smiley.
