5 Things that I am Blessed With
I have vowed that I am going to look at the bright side of things. I have got to stay more positive and be more thankful for what I have. God blessed me with so much, and my hope is that if I focus on what He has blessed me with, when things do go wrong, it won't be that big of a deal. This is a short list, and trust me there is so much more, but these were on my mind today.
1. Did you wake up breathing today? Consider yourself blessed.
2. Can you pay your bills? I know sometimes money is tight, but eventually we do get there. We have been a lot better since starting the Dave Ramsey course. But, I can afford to feed my kids. I can afford to keep my lights on. When money gets tight, I have to remember, God will provide.
3. Do you have people in your life that will support you? There has been times in my life I would say no. But I can honestly say right now that I am beyond blessed in this area. When I started church again a few months ago I gained one of the best friends that I could ever ask for, and her husband. I have had so much support from them emotionally and spiritually that I will never be able to thank them enough. I also found my husband, you know, the one that I didn't know that I had. He has changed so much in this last few months and has actually become my husband. He's sweet, thoughtful, and a great support to me. I also gained an awesome church family. I know that if I would open up they would support me. (But I'm still struggling with this.) Thank you so much Lord for the new people you have put in my life!!!!
4. Are your kids bouncing off the walls? Are they making your crazy? Be thankful that they can do these things. There are so many families that fight every day to keep their kids alive and would love to be able to see them bounce off the walls. Take a deep breath and bounce with them! Thank you Lord for keeping my kids bouncing!
5. Grace. I was thinking about this the other night. I lie there awake amazed at how a God so mighty and big and forgive me for the awful things I have done in my marriage. I said something to my husband about it and he made the comment, "That's God's grace." I sat staring at my dark ceiling just thinking about His grace. Amazing!
