This morning I have been thinking of how very blessed I am and I would like to share with all of you how Good God Is!! .....the weather is rainy and cold but I am in a warm, cozy home with heat (central at that!! Our first homes did not!) .....my dh has a steady job to go to every morning! His employer pays his health/life insurance AND MINE!! ......I have laundry to do~meaning we have clothes! I am even grateful for my washing machine and dryer this morning!! lol! .....I am blessed that we chose homeschooling!! For instance, I was so very grateful that dd did not have to get out in this weather, but was able to have hot chocolate with mama!! .....I have groceries in the house! .....Although dd woke up at 4am from a bad dream, the Lord already had me awake! (I woke up out of the blue 15-20 minutes before she did! The Lord knew that dd would need mama soon! I was awake and down the hall the second she called out!) ......and I lost 7 pounds!! Dh has already lost 10 (in 3 days!! I have been dieting for 2 weeks! But hey~that is the most I have lost in years!!) .......and I have you guys to "talk" to!!! This morning I awoke to a very grateful heart and I just wanted to share and give praisin' to our Lord!!
OOOOOOO...I LOVE making lists!!! I am so glad you are grateful this morning!!!! I am grateful for laundry also...it means my washer and dryer are in working order and we have clothes to wear...good point, Shawna! I am grateful for dirty dishes because it means we had food to eat. I am grateful for the time God is allowing me to spend with my kids. I am grateful for a messy house because it means we are home together, we have things, my kids have toys to play with, and we have a HOUSE! I am grateful my dh is not here right now because it means he had a job! lol. I am grateful for my old computer monitor because it means I can come to homeschool spot. I could go on and on!!! Thanks Shawna!!!!!
Make your list girl and see how it brings a big ole' smile to your face!! I really should do this often as it has changed my outlook and really got rid of the "stinkin thinkin"! It is amazing how it feels and I think it will affect all aspects (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional) of me! I think (know!!) the Lord knew what I needed and He put this one my heart and mind to go over what tremendous blessings I have!
Awesome! You certainly have me thinking now. As much as I have not been feeling well, and being a little...uh....I will say...not excited about going back to work, I think it is time for me to count my blessings as well! Thanks, Shawna!!! Be blessed everyone!
What a positive thread! Sometimes it me helps to write everything down and remind myself how blessed I truly am. Thanks for sharing!
I am also thankful today. I am thankful ...that I have a husband that loves me and lets me stay home to homeschool the children. ...that my daughter was willing to give me her children instead of hauling them around from man to man or abusing them. ...that Gianna only has a cold and not something worse. ...that Elijah can read, write and think ...that God loves me no matter how often I complain ...that I have wonderful memories of my mother and will one day see her again in heaven ...that I can look out the window and see the world. ...that I have a great friend, Lynne, who likes to do the same things I do, shopping at thrift stores Thanks for starting this, sometimes this time of year gets depressing.
